Moral of the story: Use iMessage to text and use FaceTime Audio for your phone conversations. It really makes me wonder where Apple will end up in all of this.

It really makes me wonder where Apple will end up in all of this.
With the Australian Government pushing through a bill to allow for 2 years worth of metadata to be stored for every person in the country in a 30 minute rushed meeting... I really hope Apple strives for a technological solution to allow for the same type of user protection with all web browsing as well.
Is it technically a possibility that Apple could say, route ALL traffic from Apple devices through a secure non-trackable network before going out to the internet?
(by non-trackable, I really mean non-user-identifiable)
- userbinator 12y agoroute ALL traffic from Apple devices through a secure non-trackable network before going out to the internet I.e. make all connections through something like Tor by default? Apple technically could do that, but given the performance of the Tor network, I don't think it would be a good idea. (I think the similar idea of having every one of their desktops be a Tor relay by default would also face some strong opposition.) And this lobbying is not so "secret" anymore now, is it...
- derefr 12y agoImagine if this was the meaning of the "Do Not Track" switch in OS preference panes. (And that the OSes that had it enabled by default, continued to do so.)
- bigiain 12y agoYeah - those honestly-not-at-all-over-reaching "gotta catch the terrorists" data retention laws for criminal investigations. Which will "absolutely" be used against copyright infringements: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/02/oz_gov_lets_slip_telco_metadata_might_be_available_to_civil_courts/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/02/oz_gov_lets_slip_tel... Time to reassess the paranoia again...
