I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

I mean, isn’t it a good thing that the company that touts privacy publicly apologizes and reverses course when they screw up, even if they sometimes don’t to the degree we would like?
I don’t see why Google should ever be forgiven
for violating our privacy just because they’re blatant about doing it. That’s dumb.
Everyone’s always gonna have their own team. Apple doomers have existed since the late 80’s and are just as insufferable imo.
Evangelicals in either camp are inevitable, and not worth vilifying/deifying the entire platform over. It shouldn’t even matter, we should be demanding more out of all of them.
I realize that I’m just venting now, apologies lol.
It is good they acknowledge it and correct it. At some point apologies are empty if it is repeated.
But my point on apple and google is like the school teacher with a good student and a "bad" kid. Expectations are set higher for the good kid, because "they should know better." And bad kid often has things slide because teachers view is "they're a bad kid, it's what we expected"
Google has a track record of being shitty, so nobody cares anymore.
