let me ask you something simple. Do you trust apple with your data more than you trust google?
Depends what you mean by trust
If you mean trust that they won’t sell, then yes
If you purely mean security, then Google is better imo
But my beliefs aren’t just based on my preferences. I hate both.
To follow up, on your responses for me both boxes check off equally but not so much as selling as to who they give that information to. You have to setup so much shit and make sure your hardware is air tight to have true privacy. I bet every device you use all of them no matter who you buy it from or what OS it runs, will have a backdoor. It's futile to do all that work when you think using Tor or I2P or whatever protocol you use for network traffic and not use cellular and disable GPS and use only use secure comms when everything has a backdoor.
