Flying SquidApple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.
JoeKroganThis is the correct response. Either everyone has protection or no one has
hardypartI’m not even an Apple user but somehow I still feel like Apple are one of the very last companies where privacy and the security of your data is more worth than a dime.
zettajonNope, Apple sells your data just as much as Google does: insiderintelligence.com/…/apple-ad-revenues-skyro… vox.com/…/apple-iphone-app-store-ads-privacy-anti…
While people noticed their new policies against 3rd party apps, that masked the fact that those policies carved out an exception for first party apps, meaning they collect (anonymous) data on you through Health, Journal, Music, etc. just like every other company. “Trusting them more” is simply a result of you and everyone else getting hit with their privacy ads recently.
Apple ad revenues skyrocket amid its privacy changes
Apple earnings show how much its ad business has grown amid iOS 14.5: App Store search ads have benefited greatly from its privacy update—something advertisers have known for a while and regulators won’t be able to ignore for long.
I feel like wuth the amount of stuff done on device and not in the cloud with iPhones and other Apple products, saying that Apple sells just as much as Google is at the very least disingenuous…
Why? They gather data locally on your device rather than on a cloud service. Why do you feel the locality where they gather your data makes the comment disingenuous?
If your device locally analyzes your behavior and files, then Apple itself is not actually collecting an analyzing your data. The "locality" is a fundamental difference in who is doing what. If your private information never leaves your phone, your privacy is still fully maintained.
