To me the interesting point was how little data Apple keeps, compared to Facebook or Google.
- Dragonai 8y agoMany people have commented on this, and the response I typically see (and which makes sense to me) is that Apple makes so much money from their products that they don't need to collect and monetize detailed user data (unlike Facebook, Google, et al.) and can easily afford to come to the user's defense and protection in that realm.
- donarb 8y agoThe other thing to remember is that collecting all of that data costs time/money, not only for storing it, but for protecting it. Apple, by virtue of not having that data, doesn't have to waste resources trying to protect it.
- ehsankia 8y agoI'm curious where you are getting that data from? The article says nothing about the data contained, and most other people in this thread either don't have access at all, or are stuck behind a 7 day wait time. Have you managed to get yours? Also, what is your metric here? A lot of "journalists" comparing the takeouts from Facebook or Google use horrible metrics such as byte size, which make zero sense because these takeouts contain videos from Photos and files you've uploaded to Drive. It's in no way an indicator of how much "data" these companies collect.
