In response to someone saying privacy of users needs to be protected.

Privacy isn't solved by implementing a secure API.



Privacy is not solved by trusting one corporation's service over another, either. Apple cannot exercise private entitlements to deny competitors fair access to their features. Therefore, the current entitlements they use need to be secured for them to be ready for third-party users.

I am not saying this is a panacea. I am acknowledging that Apple has to reconsider what their security model looks like in the face of new demands.

I didn't say it was.

I didn't say they could.

I just don't like the conflation of privacy and security. They are distinct.


Well, I hope you enjoyed your diatribe. I was addressing security, not privacy. No corporation has the right or ability to promise privacy to any free persons in a free society. I thought that was assumed on a site like Hacker News.

You're back to arguing against your own imagination.
