A throwback to remind ourselves that apple is terrible for privacy
Well put. I’m a privacy-conscious Linux user, but I’m constantly frustrated by the lack of technical understanding in the privacy community, especially towards Apple solutions. They’re not perfect but they are very good. They have made major investments in improving the privacy protections for their users in a way no other major company has that I know of.
Are you a very technical person who wants to improve their privacy and have fun figuring out technology? Great, me too, run Linux and GrapheneOS.
But, if you’re not highly technical or you don’t enjoy it you run a real risk of misconfiguring something and being far less private than you think. The truth is you might be better off with Apple’s “Advanced Data Protection” (E2E encryption), Private Relay (VPN + Tor hybrid on Cloudflare CDNs to avoid VPN blocks), “Hide My Email” email masking, disabled telemetry, fine grained app permissions, etc.
At the end of the day, all this stuff is good for is pushing back a bit against corporate advertising profiles. Focusing on it too much isn’t healthy for anyone.
maybe you could explain how apple was being super privacy conscious when they decided that gatekeeper shouldn’t have TLS or any other form of encryption?
