Apple doesn’t do that?
You enjoy using iMessages on your android phone and Linux laptop do you?
Yeah, yeah, it’s different. Except that it’s the same in the areas in which each competes. There’s plenty of examples of Apple freezing out others from a market.
- protomyth 8y agoApple doesn't sell data to third parties, so Apple doesn't do that.
- icelancer 8y agoYeah, they just gave it to China.
- noxToken 8y agoSelling user data to a 3rd party company and turning over user data to a local government are two very different things. They both have their own sets of implications. Ideally, you'd wish that a company would never turn your personal data over to either. However, governments and 3rd parties are very much not the same.
- piyush_soni 8y agoWait. Isn't everyone talking about how Apple is "fighting" the goverment / FBI for protecting their users' privacy in the US? But sharing with the Chinese goverment is ok because otherwise they won't be allowed to function there. Am I right? So that means they're not that big on fighting for your privacy is their business suffers because of that. In the US in fact their business is growing because of this little stunt they had with the FBI so they continue it.
