Apple has a pretty good revenue stream already without using telemetry for advertising, which is why they've been able to position themselves as so privacy focused. Maybe that might change in the future, but like it or not, the Apple ecosystem is lucrative enough already that it seems pretty unlikely they would be nefarious about it anytime soon.
- Draiken 3y agoI agree with you. But my point is that how it looks now is irrelevant. The world changes. CEOs change. Incentives change. What won't change is the ultimate goal of any company: profit above all else.
- musictubes 3y agoHow it looks now is not irrelevant. It is how I decide what to use. If things change in the future I will react to it then.
- Draiken 3y agoBy then, they have all your data and can do whatever they want with it. That's my whole point. This is not something you can retroactively deal with. Once that data is collected its completely outside of your control. You can choose to ignore it and believe they will act on good faith for long enough, but it's still a bet. Maybe for you it's a conscious bet. But in my view, most people don't realize this at all.
