Interesting that apple is increasing its stake in privacy. On all their billboards and advertisements of course they like to present it as a boon to the customer. More importantly, I think it’s a negative for personal data hungry competitors while being relatively unrelated to Apples business
- atonse 6y agoYup I just see this as an alignment of interests. In this case, Apple's interest happens to align with that of their consumers. And I for one am happy that they have taken up this cause and put their weight behind it, whatever their intentions may be, the effect is that it makes the web more private for those of us who deem it important to move away from the "monetizing data" cancer that has spread all over the internet.
- andiareso 6y agoThis seems suspicious to me. Apple does most if not all ML/data-mining on the device where-as competitors do it in the cloud. My assumption is they are positioning themselves this way to grab consumers later should regulations hit cloud services collecting data externally. Apple can say it is all on device and don't have access while other companies will have to say they have your data. Ultimately the motives are the same.
