Family sharing your location reduces your privacy?! Who knew?! This article would be better if they could tell me what nefarious things Apple was up to with my data, but that's not even mentioned in the article.
We cant read Apples mind, so thats wishful thinking. But sending telemetry (even if hidden) means it can be used.
Thats why e.g. Apple is using Differential Privacy for apps to use.. to not have to give the Apps full access to e.g. usage data.
Of course Apple themselves isnt necessarily bound to that system themselves, who knew..
And why not allow other Apps to replace your default Apps if you want to? Why not have access to that Freedom?
After all you should be able to do anything you want with your system.. or maybe you dont believe in this kind of freedom. Could just buy an Android phone. Fuck the person who wants to actually own their hardware, right? How could they be so dumb and want actual freedom, haha.
No, we play pretend while Freedom is further taken away under "Privacy" claims. Maybe that replacement battery will send your usage pattern via shortwave radio to an agent nearby..
