Privacy by design isn‘t enormous effort, as every European engineering manager will tell you. It‘s just another reasonable and straightforward set of requirements. Of course, if you want to have privacy-less features in jurisdictions permitting it, that‘s a different story and that‘s a choice.
- bflesch 4mo agoPrivacy by design while making a seven-figure salary because you make people buy stuff they don't really need is quite difficult ;)
- mantas 4mo agoIn this case it looks like EU is requiring to let competitors mess with Apple users privacy.
- krzyk 4mo agoNot quite. It is up to Apple to design a system in which operators (even Apple) can't see your data. Apparently they designed it in a way that operator can see it (so it is cool if it is Apple, but not cool if it is someone else).
- mantas 4mo agoHow can Apple ensure what other cloud models do in their servers?
- pocksuppet 4mo agoIs this the new excuse for user hostility? Instead of "think of the children" it's "think of your privacy"?
- mantas 4mo agoMore like „think of those managing the extended family IT infrastructure“.
- celiacFun 4mo agoDMA is about competition not privacy. Apple has privacy concerns with complying related to 3rd party access to customer data. Another aspect here is that even if Apple tries theirto best to comply, the EU could decide they didn’t do a good enough job and fine them 10% of global revenue. Honestly Apple just might not want to take that risk.
- ivan_gammel 4mo ago> DMA is about competition not privacy. Apple has privacy concerns with complying related to 3rd party access to customer data. DMA is reasonable. It‘s not their job to be concerned so much as to block that access completely. Alternative approaches do exist. For example, they may require independent audit of submitted apps if they do not trust regulators and collect small fees to cover operational costs of dealing with audit ecosystem.
