Gregory's Server@tuxicoman @ploum Apple's lawyers' statement was generic and inaccurate. Not all Apple apps are the same. Apple Maps for example doesn't link search queries to a user's profile. Locations visited and remain on-device or synced with other iCloud devices while end-to-end encrypted. Apple can still provide a way to opt out for apps that aren't private from Apple. But they don't, and that contradicts with the slogan "what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone"

 @mysk @tuxicoman : the point here is not what is technically happening right now. It is philosophical: if no reasonable user should expect privacy, they will invade that privacy. They will use those data against you. They will sell it. It’s Chehkov’s gun: any gun on the wall in the first act will be fired during the third act. (well, one might argue that they already do. The fact that they do it less visibly and in a more closed way than Google doesn’t make it less bad). |
@tuxicoman @ploum We are working on a new video to highlight this. Might be ready next weekend.
