If you agree that privacy has a certain value (and Google and Facebook obviously do which is why they paid for invading it) then it’s just a matter of degree from this to selling your kidney.

The argument is somewhat moot, anyway. Apple has simply decided that privacy is a tenet of their value proposition, that value is reflected in their contacts granting in-house certificates, and these companies broke the terms of these contracts.

Yeah, that's just marketing. If they really cared, they wouldn't accept a 9 billion dollar payout per year to make Google the default search engine for IOS.


See my other comment in this thread about the ineffectiveness of blanket cynicism to either effect change or make you appear so, so smart.
