Your comment has made a really really deep impression on me. For the past several years, I’ve been a hardcore Apple loyalist only for their stance on privacy and security.
It’s time to stop being deluded. I’m going to stop paying premium for apple and assume all my devices are hostile by default.
What the actual fuck Apple.
- __m 7y agoYou are Chinese and assumed your data would be encrypted with Apple?
- benburleson 7y agoI don't think that was said or implied.
- sushicat 7y agoBefore you made such judgement you need to think why you have freedom of speech and privacy here, because they all protected by US laws. The companies here can do things against government for protecting users privacy and security is because laws protected them. Also, the privacy people talked about these days is more focusing on how these data got stored and used by companies and advertisement agencies. They shouldn’t use your data for profit without appropriate consent. All the companies here in US will follow court orders and hand over personal data when they required. In this case, no company can again the court and refuse to provide data. Back to this case. You can assume your dats is safe here in the US, because it’s protected by the laws.
- JohnFen 7y ago> You can assume your dats is safe here in the US, because it’s protected by the laws. I honestly don't think that you can assume your data is safe in the US. The laws are lax and not well-enforced (and are mostly civil in nature anyway). The US may be better than China on this score, but it's worse than a lot of other modern nations.
- baq 7y agoI never trusted Apple, the problem is that I think they're still the best of the lot :/
