Downvote me if you must but what if Apple accidentally became the Privacy community's greatest ally? I know it can't happen bc they'll always keep a back door for their data mining

A back door is not what apple uses to collect data, that’s very very different from sending analytics.

Apple already outperforms google by 3x in terms of privacy points collected.

Wanna talk about backdoors? Check out the exploit list for android phones compared to iPhones. Nuff said.

Can you post some reliable evidence or are you talking out of your ass, now you're just looking like an angry iBoy

The pragmatic approach used for comparing Android and iOS helps to understand that Android is more susceptible to security breaches and malware attacks.

Across all studied apps, our study highlights widespread potential violations of US, EU and UK privacy law, including 1) the use of third-party tracking without user consent, 2) the lack of parental consent before sharing personally identifiable information (PII) with third-parties in children's apps, 3) the non-data-minimising configuration of tracking libraries, 4) the sending of personal data to countries without an adequate level of data protection, and 5) the continued absence of transparency around tracking, partly due to design decisions by Apple and Google. Overall, we find that neither platform is clearly better than the other for privacy across the dimensions we studied.
