That said, I have to say that from my perspective, it seems pretty clear that Apple is light years ahead of Google where privacy and security are concerned.
I try never to even touch Google properties or products, because it's tantamount to making whatever information you provide to that service public. That's kind of how I think about it. Everything I put into google maps, google apps, gmail, whatever, will be open for the entire world to see at some point. Either a leak by google, or google shares with someone who gets hacked, or maybe through a court case where stuff from 10 years ago pops up in court records or whatever. I mean, if that doesn't happen, great. If it does though, no biggie, I behaved as if it would happen from day one.
Of all the dangerous big tech companies out there, Google and Facebook are, to my mind, unquestionably the most dangerous. And by far the biggest threats to the privacy and security of the average person.
