        100%. Most business is just advanced sophistry at this point. Marketing and advertising serves a useful purpose for new products, when the market isn’t aware that it exists.

        But by quantity and cost, most advertising is just social manipulation and is effectively an extra drain on the economy.

      Juan, YOU are the man! 💪

      Plus people forget that if they use iCloud Apple can also see all your data in the same way Google can if you use a Google account

          I’m sure the Google is also encrypting the data with the exception of the interoperable data. So there’s no difference. Why point fingers when Apple do the same?

          Apple also know your browsing history. They also know your app usage. They also store your contacts, calendar, photos - just like Google. I don’t see the difference.

          Apple already can’t look at most of your data. Advanced Data Protection makes it so they can’t see any of it.

          Only to say it’s the same with Google. The data is also encrypted. So they want to point the finger and say how much Google collects, but so do they.
