comparing with mullvad is ridiculous and just shows how much you drank the apple juice without questioning
"leave alone the multi billion dollar corporation" energy
Wow another idiot who did zero research into Apple’s implementation and just uses the “they are a billion dollar company” slam.
Not saying it’s better than Mullvad but it’s not nearly as poor as other VPNs. Also no, Apple doesn’t send your contact info or other details into the cloud, all that shit is anonymized.
I mean at least do SOME research into the service you’re slamming and saying is just as insecure as CoPilot+ ffs.
Yes. Lemmy needs hate Apple. We get it.
Are you sure about that ? It is written in their Legal Privacy Policy in the chapter "Personal Data Apple Collects from You":
Doesn't seems so anonymized to me...
Go watch their WWDC 2024 keynote on how their cloud computing is set up to handle privacy and the sharing of information from device to cloud. And how they setup their proprietary servers.
As for generally collecting details (like contact info, location info, payment details, and even government issues IDs) how do you propose they offer services like Apple Card, Apple Pay, Digital Driver's Licenses, etc. without knowing that info???
I swear half of Lemmy doomsday preppers! We are talking about secure transmission from device to cloud while respecting your privacy; not using Apple services as a ghost. They are not aiming to replace Mullvad; they want to build AI on top of a secure platform that doesn't shine a flood light on your private life.
Scour their UELA all you want, really has nothing to do with the conversation; we all know they have info on you as we all know smoking causes cancer.
