    Feels poorly thought out. Most categories just straight up recommend Apple products despite the fact they collect almost as much data as every other company. The only reason they don’t get a downvote is because they aren’t actively selling your data… so far.

    They give them a sideways vote but that doesn’t matter if you show 5 products and the only one that isn’t downvoted is an Apple product, that implies that privacy is included with them when evidently it’s not.

      Yea these are more about what’s more “privacy respecting” on paper (TOS, privacy policy, past data breaches and legal cases), which is helpful to know in its own way. Stuff that can be chased down legally and all that

        That is good on paper and all, but good luck chasing down Apple legally for anything.

      I really don’t like apple, but the fact, that they’re not selling your data is a positive. That could change, but it didn’t until now.

      Still wouldn’t buy apple personally

      But they’re still sharing the data internally, right? So it’s just vertically integrated enough that it doesn’t need to sell outside itself to use your data.
