To this:
>To this date, I have sent 0 marketing emails trying to sell stuff. Heck, I don't even try to sell anything, I develop out of love and passion. The only reason email is needed is for password recovery
And your other reply in the thread:
>Frankly, I couldn't care less about whether you trust the app or not
The fact is, I send 0 emails and privacy and security are top priorities.
[...] TBH I am a bit tired of people trusting big tech so much.
Some constructive criticism about your replies... You come across as tone deaf.
Trust is not granted to you just because _you_ self-report that you're honest. Your comments will be perceived as another variation of, "Hey trust me, I'm an honest guy! Really!"
If you're tired of people "trusting big tech" so much, why would that have anything to do with you being "small tech" (e.g. Javier Antons's small company Collaborative Groups)?
The implicit cognitive consumer heuristic is not "He's a small unknown company -- therefore I trust him _more_ with my email address than a big company like Apple Inc."
You're focused more on your needs from a perspective of a developer instead of a perspective of an untrusting user.
That said, you definitely should remove Apple as an option if they make life as a developer not worth the time.
EDIT to add a link that may help your public relations strategy:
Fyi... your insistence on being perceived as trustworthy is a form of "countersignaling" and it makes people distrust your app. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersignaling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersignaling
- skuthus 5y agoTo be fair, Apple users only care about privacy when it suits them - 5-6 years ago, it was not a priority of any apple user and many mocked non-apple people for caring about it. If apples handing it to you, it must be important, or so the thinking seems to go
- sam0x17 5y agoIt's also a facade as well. Notice that each time Cellebrite demonstrates that they can unlocked encrypted iphones, there isn't massive weeping and moaning in the Apple community, nor is there a mass exodus out of the ecosystem. Apple users only care about privacy if it happens to work. Once they lose it, they continue to be good little fanboys.
- TheParkShark 5y agoIs there a safer alternative phone/os that can’t be broken into by Cellebrite?
- sam0x17 5y agoProbably not, but this shouldn't deter the consternation of Apple users everywhere.
- donarb 5y agoApple has cared about user privacy a lot longer than 5 or 6 years. I've has Apple equipment for over 20 years and at no time have they sold my info to a third party or forced invasive 3rd party software to be installed on a new machine.
- JamilD 5y agoSteve Jobs in 2010: > Privacy means people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English, and repeatedly. That’s what it means. I’m an optimist, I believe people are smart. And some people want to share more data than other people do. Ask them. Ask them every time. Make them tell you to stop asking them if they get tired of your asking them. Let them know precisely what you’re going to do with their data. That’s what we think. Some Apple users may not have cared as much about privacy until Cambridge Analytica and related issues, but it’s always been talked about at Apple.
