They care, just not enough to uproot their lives and drop their communication with other people on the platform. That's where Apple and governments come in and simply make tracking unviable.
- zepto 5y agoApple will soon be prevented from doing that when they are forced to open the App Store.
- saurik 5y agoWe shouldn't be looking to Apple as our biased replacement for a government; they also, for example, pull apps that poke at how iPhones are made in sweatshops... that they occasionally move to do something someone finds valuable doesn't exonerate them or forgive how much power they have accumulated.
- zepto 5y ago> We shouldn't be looking to Apple as our biased replacement for a government; Who is doing that? Governments have so far completely failed to manage intrusive tracking. Apple isn’t acting like a government. They are simply recognizing that this is an attractive service and providing it. > they also, for example, pull apps that poke at how iPhones are made in sweatshops... that they occasionally move to do something someone finds valuable doesn't exonerate them or forgive how much power they have accumulated. This is just generic Apple hate and not relevant to the thread.
- Apocryphon 5y agoAllowing alternative stores in iOS isn't even "opening the App Store".
