No, Apple are not perfect. No, they’re not your friend (no trillion-dollar corporation is). Yes, we must invest in and build ethical, individually-owned-and-controlled and peerarchical technological infrastructure from the commons and for the common good. No, Apple isn’t just the same as Google and telling people that they are when it comes to your privacy is patently irresponsible.

@qdemouliere Agree. And nothing guarantees that they won’t throw away their competitive advantage or reach the bean counting conclusion that it’s not in their interests in certain markets (see China) or as the regulatory environment shifts in certain jurisdictions (see anywhere where the far right are coming to/are in power).
