So they were harvesting IP information in their logs. Just wow this is what i expect from company that advocates privacy. Privacy is just marketing game for them.
Bypassing vpn etc has made all your privacy claims invalid apple?
We want less trust more truth. If you cannot do that you are not privacy friendly you are hypocrite.
- cdubzzz 6y ago> So they were harvesting IP information in their logs. I don’t get to that conclusion from the text you cited. Sure, it’s possible. But I give Apple the benefit of the doubt here that what they are doing is logging IP addresses of HTTP requests like pretty much any other HTTP server does and now they are going to stop doing even that in response to privacy concerns. Seems reasonable.
- Silhouette 6y agoThat is my expectation as well. The other, arguably bigger, problem here is that the data is apparently being sent unencrypted, so regardless of whether Apple discards some of the data after receiving it, others might not.
- cdubzzz 6y agoAbsolutely agreed. I am by no means defending Apple’s entire position here — just the pretty mundane operation of logging IP addresses associated with HTTP requests.
- mlindner 6y agoWeb servers log requests with IP addresses kind of by default. Unless they went out of their way to make sure ip addresses were purged (which they are now) they're probably going to be there.
