So, Google is clearly paying lots of money directly to maintain their lead in the search engine market.
Bad look for Apple as well. They say they take privacy seriously, but are selling their user's data to Google, one of the last companies you would want getting your information if you were concerned about privacy.
My guy, there are plenty worse companies than Google to have your data. Let's not get too hyperbolic.
It could always be worse. But that's a bad excuse.
No, you're right. That's not a good excuse but being overly dramatic over it doesn't really do anything productive either. At the end of the day it's just a default option that can easily be changed. Not really a conspiracy by Google and Apple to steal your personal data.
