Hi 👋 just shared the site with one of my buddies and he told me he doesn’t care much about it because there’s no way you’ll be 100% privacy enforced since you’re using an iPhone and sharing your location, name, birthdate , personal files, photos.
I’ve to say this gets to me but on the other side I’m also respectful of everyone‘s opinion because after all, this is what makes us special
How are you handling these circumstances usually, do you say something?
Apple disabled the feature in the UK because the alternative, per the British government, was to add a backdoor to it.
That doesn’t change the fact that it’s insecure and will likely become even more insecure as more governments demand more of the same in the name of “protecting the children”.
Regardless if Apple’s actions were better than the alternative, devices devoid of such vulnerabilities such as degoogled phones are inherently more secure and private.
Privacy and security isn’t an all-or-nothing matter though. While a Pixel running GrapheneOS would indeed be more secure privacy-wise than an iPhone, not only would one have to be willing to do without a digital wallet, among other features that unfortunately have telemetry injected into them, but would still depend on the user not installing any of the common apps that would harvest data, even on a de-Googled phone.
