I still think it's a bit funny that someone on Apple's payroll is being critical of another company's shady business practices when they are essentially doing just as much shady shit with user data.
The guy who left and sold most of his stock in 1985 because he didn't like Jobs doing exactly this kind of thing?
I didn't say you had to find it funny. Humour is subjective. But go off.
I'll explain since people insist. You'd think Apple's lawyers would have advised against this since really the company also makes money from gathering and monetizing user data. But apparently not.
Yeah but he doesn't work there anymore, why would Apple lawyers be able to stop him from saying this? He also calls Apple "the good guy" when it comes to privacy.
See the below comments about what Apple still pays him as a founder.
$50 a week?
At this point I think you're just being obtuse on purpose.
I’m not the other person. You said the comment under and that’s what it said.
You know what, you're right. That's fair. And yes, that is the comment I meant.
