- roody15 4y agoApple shares icloud data with the US government as well. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/law-enforcement-guidelines-us.pdf https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/law-enforcement-guidelin...
- three_seagrass 4y agoThat's per warrant requests for individuals, IIRC. Apple shares with the CCP for all users by default.
- the_jeremy 4y agoI think it's worth clarifying that this is just Chinese users, though that was probably clear to most. The Chinese and rest-of-the-world iClouds are completely separate.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt's very comforting to know that they treat the data of their Chinese users with such respect. For a company that insists on privacy being a human right, they sure do seem to have a flexible definition of human!
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoTake it up with the CCP. Not that I really disagree. I wish more companies would refuse to do business under those kinds of conditions.
- three_seagrass 4y agoThe point is that Apple sells their user data for market access. Google won't even do that. This is antithetical to Apple's privacy branding.
