Not in the slightest. Who do you believe works more for consumer privacy and security? Meta? Google? Microsoft?

There are no megacorps that care about your privacy. Regarding Apple, see these:

Oh, come on. What a bunch of scare mongering crap. Yes, if you tell Apple to store something on iCloud it...stores it on iCloud.

That your examples are rather weak proves my point, not the opposite.


I agree that these problems are less outrageous than those for Google, but my links show much more than simply storing things on iCloud.
