The Daring Fireball guy is very hurt hat someone is criticizing his beloved Apple, but there's at least a pinch of truth in the criticism: Apple and Google feel they're not only entitled, but own, the data they have on us. That they're not willing to share it even in a health emergency even with democratic governments is iffy.
This should be at least user choice, if not decided at the ballot box. Certainly not by shareholders. Especially since it seems the app in question is, as a result, not very useful.
- dahdum 6y agoThe data isn’t stored by Apple or Google, it remains on the device. Users have to decide whether to share their location history with the government or health authorities. Instead of automatically pushed every few minutes as one their sources insisted was necessary.
