Considering that both Google and Apple are cardholding members of PRISM, it sounds like a bit of a frying pan vs fire situation to me.

- typon 4y agoYes, but that's OUR surveillance and we're cool with that
- sbaiddn 4y agoId rather be spied on by foreigners who couldn't do anything about my eccentricities even if they cared. When you're own government's security services are spying on you, they own you.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe options weren't foreign government or local government, the current state is both, the future is local only. It's clearly an improvement. These security exploits also get used by local police who wouldn't have access to the top government access used for terrorists.

- petre 4y agoThey'll use the data to influence your next election. Just look at Moldova, who is infiltrated with Russian spies and dirty money. They've lost the last election but the country is paralysed by corruption.
- Gigachad 4y agoIts still fewer backdoors and more controlled.
- smoldesu 4y agoMore controlled by who?
- Gigachad 4y agoApple. They now gatekeep access rather than it being open to anyone with the money to hack the platform.
- smoldesu 4y agoSo, we should feel safe knowing that Apple is protecting us from the wrong governments and working with the right ones? Considering how attached they are to the Chinese market, one would be forgiven for assuming Apple too is motivated by money over ethical responsibility.
- km3r 4y agoBetter just apple than apple + hackers. Not ideal but incremental progress is still progress.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt will never be ideal while Apple's ethics are so soft. Let's help them do the right thing.
