    Sooo that could be things like “address” fields on websites, which is mildly creepy, but not “screenshot every 30 seconds” creepy, but it’s certainly vague enough to make me feel uneasy.

      It’s vague on purpose. They saw the peasants ravaging MS for giving too many details. It’s vague enough that most people won’t give it a second thought and opt in anyway. Because it is the new shiny thing from Apple that they totally just invented and not copied from other companies.

        Well I give them credit for trying to be transparent with the server code (they made a press release about it just recently), but I worry that you may be right.

        It could be the same shit.

        I’d like to believe that Apple recognizes the value in privacy, given they’re making it a central part of their brand, and I know it’s been a big part of their tech up until now……

        But I’m also aware that they’re beholden to the same cash that corrupts everyone else.

        Time will tell.
