Comment on Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”
Xatolos@reddthat.com 17 hours agoYou do know that Apple privately scrapes every piece of data you put on their phones right? Go read the privacy and ad policies. Apple also gives access to a lot of their users private information (China has full access to its users iCloud), will remove apps like this (while Google still allows apps that block ad trackers like DuckDuckGo that block Google own trackers). And Google supports CSE.
We get it from your post, your a huge and blind Apple fan that wants to do anything you can to confuse others into believing falsely like you that Apple is somehow a great company and product. But the truth is, Apple doesn’t care about your privacy, lies to your face about it, and makes you less secure and your information less private as these situations show. And if you were in cybersecurity, you’d know this.

I’m not much of an Apple fan, I just like to get my privacy where I can. And with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity I can confidently say that as much as you shouldn’t blindly trust Apple, they at least give you a number of tools to increase your privacy out of the box.
Android on the other hand is a nightmarish hellscape of data mining and user profiling. There is GrapheneOS which is as of today a great option to circumvent Google’s data mining, but now that its future is at stake I worry for the future of privacy on Android devices.

I’ll just back up what I said with real links and not “trust me bro”.
www.apple.com/legal/privacy/…/apple-advertising/ Apple collects in real time info about you like “Your name, address, age, gender… your approximate location (when turned on, kinda needed for many functions so pretty much everyone does)” I could go on. support.apple.com/en-us/111754 Apple explaining that yeah, they give the Chinese government full access to Chinese iCloud users. You know who actually cared about their users privacy and didn’t do that, preventing them from selling in China? Google. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckduc… Book ad tracking on Android from all apps. Notice that it’s on the Play Store? Where is the equal to it on Apple’s App Store? support.google.com/a/answer/14328489?hl=en Gooe built in CSE.
Just because I was able to call you out and prove you wrong, doesn’t mean I’m a shill. The fact you just doubled down on your mis-information does out you as the shill though.
