A much easier example: TV manufacturers. High end TVs cost a couple arms and a leg and the UI is still infested with trackers and ads.

- harry8 4y agoSure but the apple enthusiasts tend not to accept that because they're all companies where the managment is in Asia with those making decisions raised in the various and quite different to each other Asian cultures, (Japan, China, Korea etc.) Obviously this distinction is garbage. Surveillance capitialism is an american innovation. Apple is as american as apple-pie. "If you don't pay for it you're the product." Comes up whenever Apple create yet another problem for which the "best" solution is to pay apple even more money. Apple customers are an Apple product they sell. Paying Apple does not remove you from that. No matter who is your provider you are the product right up until the point someone can go to jail for it. Fines are merely a business expense and treated as such. CEO can do time for breaking the rules. Whole different approach ensues. What rules? How to enforce? How to interpret? How to ensure the courts don't just have a mental breakdown, throw up their hands and pass because a cpu attached to a network is on the critical path of what was done that would be clearly, wholly and totally illegal if it were replaced with an army of workers and a mountain of paper and filing cabinets.
