Did you forget the biggest asshole, Mr Apple?

In what universe? Apple is by far the most consumer friendly big tech company.

Sarcasm?

Not in the slightest. Who do you believe works more for consumer privacy and security? Meta? Google? Microsoft?

There are no megacorps that care about your privacy. Regarding Apple, see these:

Apple fined $8.5M for illegally collecting iPhone owners' data for ads (gizmodo.com)

Keeping your data from Apple is harder than expected (aalto.fi)

Apple silently uploads your passwords and keeps them (lapcatsoftware.com)

Watchdog ponders why Apple doesn't apply its strict app tracking rules to itself (theregister.com)

Apple memory holed its broken promise for an OCSP opt-out (lapcatsoftware.com)

Google collects 20 times more telemetry from Android devices than Apple from iOS (therecord.media) [but Apple still collects a lot!]

Oh, come on. What a bunch of scare mongering crap. Yes, if you tell Apple to store something on iCloud it...stores it on iCloud.

That your examples are rather weak proves my point, not the opposite.

I agree that these problems are less outrageous than those for Google, but my links show much more than simply storing things on iCloud.
