Apple is so trustworthy that everytime they have an opportunity to adopt open web standards, they choose instead to not do that and re-implement something proprietary.
If Apple is the bellweather for tech in terms of privacy, all I need to do is point to their new revamped advertising division to say "lol"
- Schroedingersat 4y agoThere's a vast difference between intent and ability to make someone drink the coolaid. Whether Apple are just as evil as facebook is immaterial. What matters is that every time someone expresses disgust at having silicon valley control and inspect every facet of their lives someone nearby will say 'what about apple, they're much hetter for privacy'.

- skhameneh 4y agoWhat? No, seriously... Apple created WebKit (former engine for Chrome, replaced by Blink) and basically pioneered many web standards. Even some standard HTML elements are Apple's creation, like canvas. Apple is literally a founding member of WHATWG. That's not to say Apple doesn't deserve their share of criticism for various proprietary efforts, but at least recognize they've been a pretty big contributor to the web.
