For people who talk a lot of crap about Apple for advertising privacy but not delivering: Google responded to the government 84% of the time "with some data" out of 20,000 times requested in 2 years. Apple received 13 requests and returned information ZERO times. It turns out that if you don't store that incredibly lucrative data about users, you can't be on the hook to hand it over in sweeping data requests. Apple may not be perfect, but that has teeth. Full disclosure I work at Apple, thoughts are my own.

- candiddevmike 3y agoI think you're mixing up the numbers. The 84% for Google is for the second half of 2020, the 20k number is for the two years previously, and the 13 for Apple were just the first half of 2022.
- gleenn 3y agoMy mistake. I think my point stands. Google benefits from location data and ends up having to hand it over to law enforcement to the detriment of customers. Apple doesn't do either.
