Why should I trust Apple, or Facebook, or Google, or any company but myself with my privacy?
Why do I care about what they say? Its marketing speak. Why not just not do it at all? Let me decide how I want my data to be sent. Which ideally, is zero.

- fsflover 6y agoHow can you check that this option is respected? Where is the source code?

- grishka 6y agoApple has some double standards, too. When it's third-party iOS apps, it now requires user consent for tracking, which is a good thing. When it's its own operating systems, it sends too many questionable requests to various Apple servers with you having very little recourse — you basically have to reverse engineer the thing to some degree to prevent it from phoning home.
