| by record, I mean precisely that. Apple stores this data. As the Key bearer it has significant control. Moreover, because apple has great PR, you don't hear about privacy breeches. Everyone seems to forget they made a super cheap and for a long time undetectable stalking service. Despite the warnings. (AirTag) Had that been Facebook or Google, it would have been the end of the feature. They have improved the unauthorised tracking flow, but its really quite unreliable with ios, and really bad in android still. > You should look more into their security architecture if you’re curious about stuff like this. I have, and its a brilliant manifesto. I especially love the documentation on PCC. but, its crammed full of implied actions that aren't the case For example: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/108756 > If you choose to enable Advanced Data Protection, the majority of your iCloud data – including iCloud Backup, Photos, Notes and more – is protected using end-to-end encryption. Ok good, so its not much different to normal right? > When you turn on Advanced Data Protection, access to your iCloud data on the web at iCloud.com is disabled Which leads me to this: > It seems like you think this means Apple somehow has access and stores all that information in their cloud and we just have to hope/trust that they don’t decide they want to poke around in it? You're damn right I do. Its the same with Google, and Facebook. We have no real way of verifying that trust. People trust Apple, because they are great at PR. But are they actually good at privacy? We have no real way of finding out, because they also have really reactive lawyers. and thats my point, we are basically here: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/11gxpcu/our_little_... but with apple. |
