And at the same time Apple pretends not to do this themselves since they can harvest the data in other ways so iMessage doesn't have to show as many warnings. Very disingenuous and pure PR (that clearly is working as intended even on HN). With cloud, iMessage and a unique advertising id Apple knows way more about its users than Facebook does. Great that Facebook gets exposed, but naïve that people believe Apple collect less.
