You may want to reevaluate. Apple has a great PR (propaganda) department that has convinced many people they respect your privacy. In truth, they do not. They're "better" than Google, but only slightly. And only so slightly that realistically it doesn't matter. "Apple is taking the unprecedented step of removing its highest level data security tool from customers in the UK, after the government demanded access to user data." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj54eq4vejo It happened in the UK; it will not be long before it happens in the US. -- Also, USA: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36084244 -- Also, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Japan: https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/pdf/requests-2024-H... -- Also, Russia: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-04/apple-fil... -- Also, China: https://www.article19.org/resources/apple-cares-about-digita... -- Also in general: https://proton.me/blog/iphone-privacy | ||

Did you just post an article where Apple refused a UK government order to weaken their encryption as "proof" that Apple doesn't respect customer privacy? Also, the US Government has already demanded that Apple weaken device encryption. Apple fought it in court, and the government dropped their demand rather than set a privacy precedent they wanted to avoid. | ||

It's brilliant how they've laundered their "privacy" reputation through Google etc. and people believe it so fully. | ||
