I'd absolutely change my mind if proven wrong. If any of those companies publish the source code of all the software running on their devices and servers (and can prove that said source code corresponds to what's actually deployed), then that'd be an excellent start.
- Schiendelman 2y agoThat is not the statement you made. "Neither Google, Apple, nor Microsoft are transparent about the software they offer, the data that software collects, or how they use the data collected." Apple is very different than the other two here. Do you actually believe otherwise or are your goalposts just... set as to be useless?
- yellowapple 2y agoApple is not different from either of those two in any of those senses. No source code = no transparency. If I am incorrect about that - and Apple does openly publish all of the code that collects and interacts with their customers' data - then I would be overjoyed to be proven wrong. That's a major component of what transparency entails, and that's what's a dependency of trust. No source code = no transparency, no transparency = no trust. Simple.

- yellowapple 2y agoI'm at least trying to have a good-faith conversation. If you ain't interested in the same, then surely there are better things for you to do than to waste both of our time, no?
