    Apple cares about your privacy though. Every fanboy simp always says it, so it’s definitely true.

          Do you use any Google products or products that were influenced in their production by Google, like android based systems including GrapheneOS, or any browser that uses blink/chromium like Brave?

                Because there are way more products that fuck privacy than google. So why did you specifically asked for those and a browser-base? Not to say google doesn’t suck big sweaty monkey balls

                    Like basically every commercial shit out there? Not saying google isn’t the worst though. Besides Microsoft and crapple. And I really worry about cloudflare.

      And apparently it is so entrenched now that even the review sites/researchers/etc. don’t bother doing research into what data Apple harvests anymore. They just believe them implicitly. There are services on all their platforms like mediaanalysisd that scan files and categorize into categories like “human, pet, good photo, bad photo, drivers license, badge, social security number” and they even have the capability to analyze video and “auto-caption” the video, they claim it’s an accessibility feature. It is also a great metadata generation and harvesting tool for all media on the device, and trivial for the contents of that metadata to be spirited away to Apple or elsewhere.

      Classification excerpt from that process in particular:

      meme_document_check_or_checkbook
      meme_curation_meme
      meme_curation_screenshot
      meme_document_boarding_pass
      meme_document_currency_or_bill
      meme_document_driving_license
      meme_document_office_badge
      meme_document_passport
      meme_document_receipt
      meme_document_social_security_number
