Say what you want about Apple and their motivations, we really need them to win this case. You cannot get your privacy (or right to it) back once it’s gone.

Apple is all proprietary anyways, so you shouldn't trust them still, even if they win this court case. I recommend using Librebooted Dell OptiPlex 780's or Dell E4300 Latitude's with Trisquel GNU/Linux + Tor Browser with Javascript disabled if your looking for the most privacy in your internet activites. You can do what you wish with this information.
Oh my god the responses are so aggravating
It does not fucking matter what we think of Apple. If they lose this case, we all lose.
This isn’t a discussion about what hardware to buy dude jfc take step back and look around you for 2 seconds
It's irrelevant what fascism collaborators do as their side job. Fuck apple.

I didn’t say I like Apple or that I trust them or anything. I said we want them to win this lawsuit.
Sometimes i like Apple, sometimes I don't. This is certainly the former.
They’re certainly less-bad about this stuff than Google, Facebook, etc.
Yeah but they also paid trump a fortune to clamp down on eu regulations
Less-bad lol
Don't trust the corpos but Apple has a history of resisting stuff like this.
No 👏 they 👏 do 👏 not.
Get Apple's dick out of your ass.
They literally have a history of moving data to government servers and handing over encryption keys: https://thehackernews.com/2021/05/how-apple-gave-chinese-government.html?m=1
San Bernardino shooter case?
Ignoring the fact they already did this in China? And by the way, you have no way of knowing when your data was uploaded to the Chinese servers
I’m not sure how this is incompatible with what I said. What your point?
It's already gone because it's not disclosed when or why it is moved to servers where the Chinese govt can decrypt it, but I guess it depends on who you're worried about having your data
No one outside of China has their data stored there, though. Every tech company that complies with China hosts the data in China and usually makes the Chinese version of their software work differently as a result. The Chinese government isn't able to just see everyone else's data.
No one outside of China has their data stored there, though.
- There's no way to tell if Apple transfers your data there
- Apple does not clarify how they decide when to transfer your data there
- You are putting a lot of faith into a system that shows no transparency
You know there are some of us who don’t use iCloud so you can stop assuming all of us are in this boat lol
It’s already gone then. There’s nothing I can do about it.
