I stand with Apple!

I deleted my FB account years ago, never used Instagram. Unfortunately I am forced to use WhatsUp because of my family :( .

I think it is time to put a stop at this selling user data business. Selling user data and ads is not an Apple business, so I trust Apple vs Google, where the majority of their revenue comes from ads.



Apple has to share your data with advertising partners whereas your data doesn't leave Google.

Apple patents trivial programming language features and curved phone corners.

Apple deceptive marketing is well known.

Google has actually contributed lot more than Apple to open source.

There is a FOSS app store for android, because it is not a walled garden like iOS.

There is privacy, as in Linux culture, and there is "Privacy!!" as in apple marketing.

I am not affiliated to Google. But the hate they get here is undeserved.
