You can make DuckDuckGo your default search engine on all Apple devices.
Apple is definitely a for profit business and they charge for their products instead of subsidizing with data aggregation or theft.
- bryan_w 7y agoStill doesn't change the fact that if Apple was principled on privacy, they would refuse google's billions in spy money and wouldn't, by default, send their customers to Google search engine to be harvested
- throwaway122378 7y agoI hear ya but if DDG doubled googles offer Apple would change the default. They are for profit and don’t hide it. Google and Facebook on the other hand hide or at least try to hide their illegal business models
- a_imho 7y agoIt is not their fault the highest bidder is the shadiest of them all? That is some weird mental gymnastics to give Apple some moral high ground.
- askafriend 7y agoApple takes more proactive steps to ensuring user privacy than anyone else in the industry at their scale. They put out products that are by far the privacy conscious of the bunch. Statements like yours seem to exist in some weird ideological vacuum. Reality is far messier and much more nuanced. So unless you're willing to let your ideology clash with reality to produce something of value in the real world, it's essentially grandstanding.
