It would be good to remember this moment next time some of their marketing bullshit about privacy will surface again.
Their word extends no further than the next paycheck. And people still fall for it.
- leppr 7y agoPrivacy and freedom don't necessarily intersect. You could have a lot of privacy but no freedom in a windowless prison cell, or a lot of freedom but no privacy being homeless in the street. (not that Apple's privacy spiel ever really meant anything as a company selling internet-connected black boxes)
- mikenew 7y agoYou're right, but the dialogue should change from "Apple respects your privacy" to "Yeah maybe Apple respects your privacy but they don't respect your freedom". Also they host all their Chinese iCloud data on Chinese servers now. So the "privacy" marketing is pretty bullshit anyway. At best it should be "Apple respects the privacy of some of it's users at the current time, probably".
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThe connection in this case is, Apple says they restrict user freedom as a way to protect user privacy.
- kortilla 7y agoThis doesn’t have anything to do with privacy.
- Steltek 7y agoForget the recent interest in "privacy" (competition). Who remembers the 1984 Apple Ad? It looks pretty ironic in hindsight now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axSnW-ygU5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axSnW-ygU5g
