Their business model could change at any time though and it’s kind of difficult forgetting their links to NSA’s Prism or strange incidents like the iPhone malware that recently targeted Kasperky employees using secret API’s that were only known to Apple.
I trust then more, our house is full of Apple gear - but I still can’t trust them.
Re: Google. They weren’t always monsters, there was a time when they were positively viewed upon on the web pre-2006.
- nerdjon 3y agoI don't completely trust them and I don't think I am claiming otherwise, but it is more than Google. My key problem here is consent. I chose to use Apple, I theoretically can choose not to use Google but that doesn't mean anything since they will get my data anyways, at least some of it. And agreed on Google, I used gmail, reader, and basically any experiment they came out with. For me it was somewhere around 2008 from what I can tell that I started moving away from them.
