      It’s not a binary issue. Google’s entire business model is dependent on it. Apple’s is not, so they don’t do it nearly to the same extent.

        That doesn’t mean we have to conclude apple is the good guy.

        They can both be shitty corporations. This assignment is not graded on curve.

          no one said apple is “the good guy”. The only thing the top comment said is they prefer apple’s stance on privacy compared to google.

          like many things in life if your options are all shitty, then you’ll probably opt for the least shitty option. So in that sense your choice between apple or google is “graded on a curve”. You’re just trying to justify a false equivalence.
