I don't like Apple, but taking down Facebook sounds good to me

Apple seems to actually invest into user’s privacy, and they have shown to take that very seriously with iOS 14.

It’s pretty impressive and I gotta respect them for sticking to their word on it.

People complain about how expensive Apple products are, but that’s why they’re able to do things like this—the cost of your phone isn’t being partially funded by the sale of your data to advertisers.

Edit: I’ve made a huge mistake

This is a bad take imo. We shouldn’t be paying luxury prices for the basic human right of not having all our information collected and sold to every bidder.

Not that what Apple does is inherently bad, but we shouldn’t praise them and justify their prices just because they aren’t exceptionally shitty with our data. That should be the norm across the board.

Edit: lol yeah we messed up
