As many have been saying for decades, the only way to have privacy when computing is by using publicly auditable open source software. No amount of pinky promises made by the marketing department can change that. It doesn't matter if the end user doesn't audit everything themselves, that's impossible to do in a reasonable manner, but the constant auditing and testing by many independent entities gives, in my opinion, a better assurance of privacy than some marketing material saying they deeply care about me. Somehow a large subset of the general public doesn't seem to understand this. And act all surprised when Apple, Google, Microsoft or whatever screws them over.
