Very few people practice consistent logic regarding opt in versus opt out. In nearly every case I’ve observed people are pro opt in for things they don’t like and pro opt out of things do like. Hence the push to make organ donation opt out and privacy invasion opt in. I don’t think there should be an expectation of being consistent, it’s just an observation.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoFunny how in this case, we're talking about two tracking efforts, so it would be expected that both were opt-in to respect our privacy. The difference is that one kind of tracking helps Apple make money, and the other doesn't.
- FabHK 5y agoHow does helping other people find their lost items (with neither Apple nor the "helper" knowing where the item is, now who lost it) infringe on anyone's privacy?
- Daishiman 5y agoHow about if I just don't want Apple collecting data at will or using my device as a private mesh network?
- fastball 5y agoUm, then don't enable "Find My iPhone" when setting up your device??
- theshrike79 5y agoWhat data is Apple collecting? All of the data is anonymised and encrypted so that even Apple can't decrypt it.
- CRConrad 5y agoOne would have thought by now people who get Apple devices should have stopped thinking of them as "my device".
