I don’t have a professionally calibrated evil-meter...
But I’ll tell you why I trust Comcast and Verizon more than Facebook and Gooogle... the former two are completely honest about what they are, the latter two are not.
Typed on an iPhone because Apple is right upfront about what it is the do and how they make money.
- raggi 9y agoClearly you're not aware of e.g. apple maps says collection, iPhone defaults, or the apple maps business model. This rhetoric that Apple is special in this context is just the reality distortion field still rippling.
- SlowRobotAhead 9y agoI’m aware Apple collects data, literally everyone collects. Apple is pretty upfront about their tactics to make money, google and Facebook are not.
- Twisell 9y agoThat Apple collect some data and keep it on their server I’m ok with that and I had the choice. But if I learned that Apple gave my data to the company that produce a spyware that some remote friend installed on his computer from a dubious link, of course I would be mad at Apple because something in their security model would be seriously fucked up.
- r00fus 9y agoPoint taken, but all four of the companies in your 2nd paragraph are spending significant amounts $800k in total against privacy. Comcast/Verizon get to collect your data and their rent on your cable/mobile bill.
