"Apple's devotion to privacy ends at phone unlock."

If you had read either the privacy policy or security architecture, you would know that you have made a false statement here.

I think it's you who is trying to distract us from the fact that Google itself uses your private data for its own business purposes, and has a vested interest in not protecting you from itself.




I find it adorable how people buy into the rhetoric and trust that Apple doesn't leverage and track your data. They are a hardware and content company, and they absolutely leverage all the data they can in order to better market you the content they think you might want. Its not just business, its personal. Even with the lions' share of their money coming from hardware sales, so what? Without deep, targeted tracking and mining of user data for market research their entire mobile platform would implode along with the business models of their content partners and app makers.

Meanwhile, I show nor imply any support for Google on the subject. They are no better, perhaps worse.


So you simply choose to believe they are lying with no evidence at all.

Not much point in discussing anything with you, I guess.


... and we devolve into the same old debate over the definition of metadata


Nope. Thst's just you presenting more cynicism without a shred of evidence.
