Lying by omission isn't a good choice, because you're using a classic tactic of overstatement-by-framing that has been weaponized into standard police procedure to sway people into believing you. The truth is more precise:

"I'm switching because of Apple's surveillance of my files so they can find child porn to report to the police"

But that's also much less likely to win you converts to your cause, which is why we never see anyone saying it so clearly in these conversations. Which is more important to you, being completely honest about your beliefs, or evangelizing others to believe them too?




good perspective, thanks!
