A 16-year employee alleges Apple’s carrier team shared IMEI numbers through unsecured email without required customer releases. Apple denies wrongdoing and says he was fired for just cause. A jury trial is set for November 2027.
Corporations look at those who respect the privacy and security of others in the way I look at that dead bird my dog just rolled in.
You hate the dead bird and want to ruin it’s life even more than it already being a dead bird? That’s kind of harsh. I’m a dick and even I’ve never looked ad a dead thing and angrily wanted it to be more dead.
I did have a saveloy incident with a seagull in Brighton which may have skewed my outlook.
Ah, perfectly reasonable in that case.
Apple does a great job advertising privacy. They are pretty good at also blocking 3rd parties from collecting data on you as well.
What they don’t do, is talk about the amount of data they collect on you. They do care about your data because they are trying to push into the advertising business. They really need to be sued by these 3rd parties for monopolistic practices abusing their platform to collect data.
Yes they care about the privacy of their users in the way farmers care about the health of their cows.
