“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

They do better about privacy because they make enough money from their inflated prices and blind brand loyalty where they dont have to become an ad company like google. Google is very good at protecting their users data from third parties, as long as they can still collect all of it.

Apple (currently) doesn't collect a lot of data which allows them to design products with security as a primary component instead of as an afterthought

They collect everything. Every detail of your usage. They may not sell it, but your entire life is on an apple server

I'll get downvoted because Lemmy has a weird hate boner for asking for proof but do you have any proof that they "collect everything"?
