On: Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption

yeah that must be why Apple is so careful about restricting access to the same data when it is synced onto a Mac oh wait they aren't

You actually think that "syncing onto a mac" is the same as sending the data to a completely unvetted 3rd party cloud?

[827a → theshrike79]

"I own data that may be stored on Apple's servers. Apple's operating system syncs that data to my local computer in a secure fashion. Apple's operating system exposes low-level APIs that allow other applications to access that data. I can install third party applications. Those third party applications can access that data and may exfiltrate it to an unvetted 3rd party cloud."

Your turn smart guy: Am I talking about iOS or MacOS?

Apple can only allows EU-based alternatives. Then the data protection is solely in hands of the EU commission and their vetting and regulation.

Problem solved. Next question?
