Apple does care about your privacy and has repeatedly proven so. You have to give credit where it’s due.

  It certainly is good for business to appear to care about it

    This is cynical to the point of uselessness. This is true of anything any business does. Customers still benefit even if a company is "only doing it for the money", or whatever.

      > This is true of anything any business does. Exactly, now you get it. It's especially true for FANG, which literally exists only for the purpose of squeezing as much money as possible out of us. I'll give you an excellent data point on Google as an example. They don't care about click-fraud, at all, because it makes them money. In fact, it makes them so much money, I don't think realistically they could exist without it. When I was a teenager I ran a network of websites, one of which three of my web developer friends actually ran ads on frequently for their websites. We got attacked by a massive click-fraud botting attack (shady competitor wanted to get us kicked off of AdSense). Anyway, $843 of my earnings that month got flagged as click-fraud. $55 of that was actually ads that were run by my friends. While Google happily ripped that money away from me, my three friends never got anything refunded nor any indication that their ad buys were subject to click fraud. FANG is a bunch of criminals.

    Similar to openai and ai regulation. There’s good business in knocking out your competition by coincidentally picking up the right cause that does so.
