Same for you. Proof that Apple isn’t using it to analyze your (usage) data.
And it’s not okay just because it’s the 1st party analyzing it because they arent selling it.
I am really tired of the hypocrisy of some lemmy users advocating for maximum privacy to the detriment of everyone around them but on the other hand just saying “yeah, that’s totally fine” and basically breaking all their principles.
The article we are commenting on, along with the countless others that call out Google/android for snooping in your data and selling it off is my proof.
I really tired of lemmy users that think because one thing is bad- ALL things similar are bad.
Is almost like nuance is just something kids don’t seem to understand anymore.
Look up a YT channel called Tech-Bore
That ain’t proof.
Yes it is, because he shows you
When the time comes that I’m willing to go to random dudes on YouTube for my news, I’ll buy whatever bridge you’re selling.
That day isn’t today.

Apple absolutely does collect huge amounts of data from the users. The difference is they don’t directly ‘sell’ that data to advertisers. Instead they get paid to personalize the ads themselves and wear that as a badge for ‘advocating privacy’. Stock Android is horrendous compared to what Apple does, yes. However you usually have the option to ditch it for a more privacy respecting Android.
