You said sneak’s statement was correct.

Sneak said that they were recording people’s travel history, which is a lie.

You haven’t provided any such proof. All you have done is equate logging ip addresses with recording people’s travel history, which is false.

They are recording it. Whether they are querying it or not is another matter.

No, they are not recording your location or your “travel history”.

The best you can do is suggest that they might have the possibility of using geoIP to deduce locations from logs whose storage duration you do not know.

That simply isn’t the same thing.

If sneak were to have said something like this:

“Apple could be lying to us, and may in fact be using geoIP to deduce people’s location from IP addresses in their logs. I have no proof of this, but it is technically feasible, and I don’t trust them not to be doing it.”

I would not say they were lying. These are all true statements.

But to say “Apple is recoding your travel history” when really all you have is speculation about what is technically possible, is a lie.

Another lie. They are recording your location. You already agreed to that except last time, you said it was "anonymized." Then you said that it was recorded but not queried. Now you're saying they're not recording it at all? Keep your facts straight.

The worst part is that you're paying for this abuse from Apple and then justifying it to others. Nobody else is falling for it.

You keep saying ‘Apple is recording your location’. You haven’t provided a single link to a single piece of evidence.

‘You already agreed to that except last time, you said it was "anonymized."’

If this is true you’ll be able to find a link to where I agree that Apple records your location.

As to me saying it’s anonymized. It’s not just me. Apple states that the location data is anonymized. I’m basing my statement on their published statements.

Do you claim that Apple is lying?
