If I have something that spies 24/7 in my home or around me I throw it in the recycle bin.
No more tech talk, implementation talk on closed software and dark pattern designed products by any company.
Apple is using its market leader in "user convenience" position to normalize on device user behavior analysis and data processing and active policing. This is madness.
I expect police and three letter agencies to use their own hacking tools and budget. I will not pay the bill on a multiple levels to be monitored and classified. Yes you can vote with your wallet as first reaction, as second you can push your representatives for political and legislative reaction.
Imagine this news in 2010. For sure some Apple stores will be burned down to the ground.
But make no mistake: If you don't buy products created from the get go to snoop around and extract your data, you will have more privacy.
The only way into the future for people who want peace of mind is not to buy into smart home, smart appliances, smart cars and smart surveillance. Period.
They are called smart for a reason. Because we are becoming stupider.
Start self-hosting and local backups, there are tech savvy people who are moving away from surveillance state and building more private and sustainable future for themselves.
Apple is the big writing on the wall. They act as political entity now, the users are their voters and as a classic politics move they are selling the audience to the highest bidder.
Checks and balances.
