You pay Apple for services, so you’re the customer. You don’t actually pay google for its services, so you’re the product. It’s not really all that complex.

- hd4 8y agoThere's no real reason Apple wouldn't use your data if they thought they could do so without getting caught. Anyway I thought this was all moot since Snowden happened?
- village-idiot 8y agoThe “without getting caught” is a pretty big thing to hand wave through. For apple, who is already making money hand over fist, this would be a catastrophically stupid decision. I’m not really interested in the “Snowden, ergo it’s all pointless” line of reasoning.
- A2017U1 8y agoIt's not really all that simple, my only relationship with Uber, Netflix and Spotify is one of a regular paying customer and they've all been caught out doing insidious things with my personal data from their apps. Meanwhile I've flashed the foss LinageOS that doesn't phonehome every hour. I find this meme silly, no one is claiming they are the "product" after installing Ubuntu.
