@snowdusk_ Apple vs Google on privacy: a tale of absolute competitive advantage

https://2018.ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on-privacy-a-tale-of-absolute-competitive-advantage/

TL;DR Apple willingly giving up its absolute competitive advantage in privacy over Google would be as daft as Samson shaving his head every morning.

That said, the long term alternatives are p2p, e2e-encrypted, and free stack (software, hardware, and services).

"Every tap, button push and keyboard entry is recorded — effectively screenshotted — and sent back to the app developers", including credit card numbers, passwords, etc. When will people stop pretending that the #Apple system of a proprietary walled garden lead to more #security and #privacy? https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/06/iphone-session-replay-screenshots

public authorities "can secretly compel tech companies and individual technologists, including network administrators, sysadmins, and open source developers – to re-engineer software and hardware under their control, so that it can be used to spy on their users. Engineers can be penalized for refusing to comply with fines and prison"... sounds like a nightmare but it is reality in the #UK and #Australia https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/new-fight-online-privacy-and-security-australia-falls-what-happens-next #eff #spy #privacy #security

RT @Sendinthewolf@twitter.com: @jessehirsh@twitter.com is 100% right. It doesn't get much clearer than this. Data #privacy and transparency are prerequisites of #Democracy. But when Facebook controls public speech, democracy is just a cost to be avoided. #cdnpoli https://www.cigionline.org/articles/canadian-elections-cant-side-step-social-media-influence
