Hi 👋 just shared the site with one of my buddies and he told me he doesn’t care much about it because there’s no way you’ll be 100% privacy enforced since you’re using an iPhone and sharing your location, name, birthdate , personal files, photos.

I’ve to say this gets to me but on the other side I’m also respectful of everyone‘s opinion because after all, this is what makes us special

How are you handling these circumstances usually, do you say something?

    Apple charges unreasonably high profit margins on its products as its primary business model, along with locking down their ecosystem to push overpriced subscriptions to the detriment of competitors, to not need the same level of invasive data collection that powers Google’s advertising business.

      Basically, you trust Apple to not be as bad as Google. I hope you realise how flawed your assumption is. Capitalism doesn’t consider morality in its wake

        Well, I don’t see Google protesting when they’re forced to compromise privacy or security by governments. And we sure as hell wouldn’t see Google leak a secret order to backdoor their products that they were forbidden from revealing.

        They aren’t great, but they sure as hell aren’t anywhere as bad as Google, and anyone that argues otherwise is either incredibly misinformed on the topic, or doing so in bad faith.

        I’ll leave it to you to decide where you fit into that.
