Also there's a big difference between 1) a company collecting and selling your data to other companies 2) a company giving authorities access to your data for complying with anti-terror laws.
I'm not implying i agree with how far governments go to intrude into peoples privacy. Just pointing out that i agree with OP that there's a big difference between for example Googles and Apples stance towards privacy.
- on_and_off 9y agoHow is Google selling your data to another company ?
- maccard 9y agoThat's literally their business
- darkmuck 9y agoGoogle may be using the data for their own benefit but they don't sell it to third parties.
- vopi 9y agoYeah that's like their entire business model. They use it to sell ads, etc but they won't sell their most valuable asset.
- on_and_off 9y agoThey sell ads that they target based on your data but AFAIK they don't give this data to any third party (except gov agencies of course like all US companies)
- taneq 9y agoThey, like Facebook, are big enough that they don't need to sell data in order to monetise it. This doesn't make their swirling vortex of personal data extraction less creepy.
