    Fine, you don’t trust them to keep a contract.

    With that mindset you can’t even open a bank account or do any other daily business. Or can you? Why trust those contracts but not Apple or Google’s?

    Google is quite specific how they’re using your private data, and Apple as well. You can look into the contract and choose.

    Meta has their scandal and has proven untrustworthy. Zuck very first known comments from Facebook success shows how he dismisses his users as idiots. But Google? They were even explicit when they were fine with evil.

    And Apple at least has a plausible business concept to not automatically assume they must lie. So, what’s the reason other than “they might lie”, which applies to your bank and doctors as well?

      There’s a difference between “anyone might lie” and “these people who have repeatedly lied to me in the past at every opportunity are definitely lying to me again”

      Are you trying to say you didn’t think apple had been caught lying? I don’t think I have the energy to actually go and find an the class actions they’ve lost, but I’ve gotten money from them like 8 times already over them.

      I didn’t say Google was better, I DEFINITELY didn’t say meta was better. I just said apple isn’t trustworthy. And here we are, with you trying to defend them WEEKS later. Why?

      Like, if I caught my bank lying to me I’d leave that bank and tell everyone I know not to trust them
