Apple has been talking about privacy for a long time. Your last statement is quite demonstrably false.

  Well what do you make of the NSA Prism program to which Apple participates? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants...

    That doesn’t refute my general point or do much to substantiate the earlier assertion that apple had done nothing wrt privacy. Nice try though ;) What’s next? You going to use that same article to argue that the USA is equivalent to North Korea?

      I didn't mention North Korea, why are you talking about North Korea? What does North Korea have to do with the subject matter?

    Keeping individual’s data private from companies and scammers (i.e. NOT state level actors) is privacy. Keeping individual’s data from a government agency that has a legal right to it (I.e PRISM) is breaking the law. This is not a value judgement on the ethical nature of said state actors. But that’s the difference — one is legal and desirable for all consumers, so they can pursue it. One is illegal and would put them in violation of federal law, so of course a public company cannot.

    This is disturbing.
