Last year Apple reacted after the outcry about MacOS tracking[1] so there is some hope. That was not a deliberate product and probably more of an unintended behavior though.
I'm really hoping this was just a team at Apple that got blinded by all the cool cryptography they came up with to solve a problem and that the higher ups will react if we screech loudly enough.

- okamiueru 5y ago> Last year Apple reacted How did they react? Isn't it still in effect? Still sending unencrypted messages when apps are opened? As far as I'm aware, they plan on having OCSP encrypted, and plan on giving users a choice. I honestly do not get the outrage over the apple's client side scanning. It's outrageous, sure, but... much of the same people seem to have been ok with unencrypted telemetry being transmitted for every executable run. Not to mention that every executable will also be logged at some point, so apple knows every program you've ever run.
- almostdigital 5y agoNot sure about the OCSP encryption but they did remove their VPN bypass in 11.2 (which was the bigger issue for me at least)
