- andreilys 7y agoCan you point to any flagrant privacy abuses that Apple has engaged in when compared to companies like Facebook?
- reimertz 7y agoFair point. I mean, they where mentioned in the Snowden leaks but they also dismissed it as being false. I want that to be true and have decided to use them for now till something proves me otherwise. edit: lazy was the wrong wording. I spent way more time that I should have, figuring out how to feel secure with my setup. With lazy, I meant that I don’t have the time nor the motivation to set up my own cloud/mail/backup etc right now.
- InTheArena 7y agoWe can hope that Apple is just as ahead of the curve now as they were then. Apple may have figured out marketing, but let’s not equate that to selling you as a good to other corporations a and governments. There’s a lot I don’t like about their model. I think it’s completely Disingenuous to claim that Apple is paying the App Store developers, as opposed to users buying goods. However their privacy stance is something that should not be subject to whatBoutisms.
- fredthomsen 7y agoApple does it because they can afford to do it not because they care.
