I believe the firewall is not supposed to be protection against Apple doing an attack on you, but against them collecting data because you forgot to change some setting to opt out somewhere.
- oneplane 4y agoYou actually have to opt in to this, but most people do because they don't care or understand what it is they are doing. In some cases, data shared features have to be re-opted-in during major OS upgrades (maybe because the processes that process the data are divided differently or using different API endpoints.. who knows).
- djur 4y agoIf you don't trust Apple with your data, a firewall will not protect you. They can collect data at any time and have many options for extracting it from your computer. A firewall will only really help with "above the table" behavior.
