"Lindqvist can’t comment directly on how Google's Android works in similar respects"
Of course he can't, because its easier to jump on the Apple bashing bandwagon.
I suspect if you did a side-by-side comparison, we all know where Android would fall on the privacy spectrum.
Give me Apple over Google any day of the week.
I expected better from Lindqvist than take part in a biased article like that.
- rcarmo 3y agoAn article on Android security would both be much longer and have much less media attention.
- sensanaty 3y agoOr how about we stop excusing megacorps altogether and stomp them both down? This isn't a football team type of competition, its 2 megacorporations that don't give a shit about you and they both deserve to be strangled into submission so that their whole business model doesn't hinge on mass surveillance.
- jasonlotito 3y agoSomeone can be the best at something and still need improvement. Just look at Apple every year working to improve security. Rather than just assume everything is fine, it's important to call out deficiencies. Especially when someone is seen as the best at something. Being the best doesn't mean you are good. It just means everyone else is worse.
- Argonaut998 3y agoIt has already been done[1] and the conclusion is that Apple is not much/no better than Google. When it comes to user data I do believe that Apple is better due to Google’s revenue being from advertisements. Yet Apple has begun exploring this space and at that point I consider them as bad as each other.
