Apple has had high profile fights with USgov on their privacy stances. Google has not.

  And yet they're cooperating with the government all the same. Literally just marketing... With Google, you at least know what to expect. How many promises has Apple broken now?

    You mean they are doing what they are legally required to do by the government? Of course they are. They are also working around the margins to improve privacy. Google is not. How many promises has apple broken? #stuffyoumadeup

      > You mean they are doing what they are legally required to do by the government? Of course they are. Well that cut-and-dries it then, I'll be sticking with Android/Linux until Apple puts up a meaningful resistance to government surveillance.

        “I’ll stick with the phone made by a company that makes their money off of spying on me.” Ok, sure. Have fun.

      Have you been sleeping for the last half year? It was on the front page of HN a bunch of times. Even this, from an Apple fanboy website: https://www.macobserver.com/columns-opinions/devils-advocate/apple-broke-privacy-promises-hearts/ https://www.macobserver.com/columns-opinions/devils-advocate...

        What promise did Apple break with CASM? I fully support it. As designed, it shows Apple goes out of their way to protect privacy as much as they do children from being exploited. I proper balance of interests.
