No. The only people who make this claim are Apple critics who put words in Apple's mouth to justify whatever clickbait blog post they're putting out this week to pad their resumes and harvest echo chamber thumbs.

But as we know from politics, if you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth.

In the article you linked to, I didn't see Apple claiming they alone can protect user's privacy. I read instead that Apple suggested all companies should strive to protect their user's privacy.

"I'm a Mac

And I'm a P----Error"-Apple ad year 200x

And as you mentioned, like politics, you can deny it and fanatics will believe you..

Apple making fun of BSOD is not what the parent comment posited. Let me recap for you: "the only ones who can protect users"

Those ads aired so long ago that they referred to Windows Vista, they hardly seem relevant

Not seeing Apple claiming only they can protect user's privacy. Instead the article quotes Tim Cook trying to pressure the governments t recognize privacy as a fundamental human right.

You would if you had watched the commercial.

I watched the video, still didn't seen any claims that only Apple can protect a user's privacy. You must be reading between the lines where I am not.
