Comment on Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger

  Because apple forced an album onto user’s phone just because they were paid to do it.

  Seriously, apple does a spectacular job at user privacy and security, probably second to none.

  Is this satire?

    Let’s be real here, google and every other company sells you out to their advertisers instantly and even double dip and triple dip on your info wherever they can. Apple doesn’t and they take their security seriously. Feds are always crying about how hard it is to break into iphones, telcos are complaining how apple protects it’s users (because telcos have an interest in monetizing those apple users), and the payouts for finding security vulnerabilities for apple products are very high.

    Google and apple are absolutely on different ends of the spectrum of user privacy and security

      This only means that Apple don’t allow anyone else to do it, not that Apple itself does not do it.

        True - show me proof Apple monetizes it’s users, then we can continue this discussion

      Yes but when push comes to shove, they prioritise money. See apple serves in china being accessible by the goverment.

      I do agree that it is nice that apple has things that protects buyers from telcos but, I do feel like the no bloatware and no different phones in regions is a image move so apple products are more easuly understandable for the average consumer (so more money).

        I will totally agree with you it all does come down to money, but I feel Apple/Tim Cook is still principled in this regard - he has made a stand that the customer is not the product, and the investors/share holders appear to respect this boundary so far. All that is needed is a shithead CEO to come in and squeeze every cent, which at that point might very well be to monetize users like Google. Anything can change tomorrow.

        Btw I’m a hobbyist security researcher, and the more I study Apple/iOS/MacOS, the more impressed I am. I don’t actually have any apple devices, but I’m really starting to consider it
