Every post about google, facebook or privacy, there is a PR comment about Apple.
Apple doesn't care about privacy any more than google believed in "do no evil". They collect data on you just like google does. They buy data from other vendors like google does. They sell data on you.
The idea that a company who gives data to the chinese government cares about privacy is laughable.

You shouldn't confine yourself to an "ecosystem" controlled by one company. Be that google or apple.
- marliechiller 8y agosurely confining yourself to just one would limit the reselling of your data though? i.e just 1 company, instead of multiple will be peddling your privacy to other buyers
- graeme 8y agoYou can turn off icloud in china and your phone is secure (presumably). And apps such as wechat have less abilities to read data on an iphone. Apple had a choice: icloud in china or leave china. Would chinese citizens be better served if android was the only option? As for data, apple collects less of it. You can verify that with a data request: https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-data-collection-stored-request/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-data-collection-stored-r... And much of their data for apps like maps is anonymized. On what basis can you reasonably equate their data efforts to google's? Everyone needs data, but apple does legitimately seem to take privacy more seriously.
- jaegerpicker 8y agoLiterally nothing you said is true. Apple doesn't sell your data and they collect dramatically less data which has been proven numerous times. This is basically a cheap attempt at trolling.
