Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data

Apple to update transparency report to break out push notification data requests.

Yes it is.

Apple chose to use google as their default search engine, because they don't care about your privacy anymore than Google does.

But isn't your #argument essentially; believe what Apple tell us? I can't trust someone I never met to tell me the truth. I don't understand how you can. Apple can say what they like. It's what they do I'll judge them on. And #apple and #google do the same thing. They betray our trust. I would judge #Microsoft the same way, if they were in this argument. The real contrast here is #Linux. If they spy on us we can see it in the code. That's the real deal with #opensource #software. We don't need to trust it. We can see what they're doing. That's the model I prefer. I use an #android phone and an #ipad but I don't expect them to protect my #privacy. That would be naive.
