Not sure how Apple squares these products with its long-standing stance that, "Privacy is a fundamental human right."
@zackwhittaker maybe they meant "we have a fundamental right to our user's privacy?"

It's squared by the always superlative and overriding mantra that "profit is a fundamental Corporate/shareholder right" ...

@zackwhittaker I am so glad I never bought the Apple bullshit.

This one time I was offered a job, long ago, it was for Apple.
I listened to the long spiel about how we shouldn't leave the compound or talk to anyone on our cars in the parking lot on breaks or while waiting for shifts to start, would be fired if caught carrying paper or pencil on premises because all notes business or personal written on the compound by Apple employees had to be on official devices, were prohibited from carrying anything in a bag (including food and medicine) that wasn't searched and approved for that day, and how the relatively low pay for a job that could end at any time, most likely if we showed up even a few minutes late in the extreme weather conditions that would slow traffic down so take two or three times the usual trip time if not stop if completely was actually well worth it because we would know about the amazing features of the phones we couldn't afford and were discouraged from owning.
Then I pointed to the other conditional new hires this sounded like worker abuse and started a walkout by refusing to sign the rest of the large stack of paperwork that included a type of gag order (I forget the legal name for but that has since been made illegal).
I was desperate for a job but not *that* desperate.
It wasn't a high security job or anything, only customer service. I've had government jobs with higher security clearances that were nothing like that, because it would've been torn apart in courts.
Apple throws money at fines, avoids criminal charges against prominent people, and keeps going.

Esptein AI ware? What could go wrong?

@zackwhittaker Apple is a corporation and as such, doesn't have a stance, that was a marketing slogan. No more.
@happyborg @zackwhittaker That is probably true, but Apple knows marketing better than anyone. So my guess would’ve been they’d recognize the importance of doing things differently, the way they used to.
But things may have changed.

You don't understand.
#Apple built a wall around iUsers to keep their secrets where only Apple could see them.
The spy glasses are security cameras for this walled garden.

@zackwhittaker it is a fundamental right! They’re the only big tech company that doesn’t seem to poorly handle personal data. Are Google and Meta any better when it comes to data privacy?
@bh @zackwhittaker They've been at least bad as Google and Meta for a while now, while still clinging to the old impression that they were better.

@bh @zackwhittaker With Apple squarely on the US government's side, those days are clearly over.
The Apple you see today is not the Apple you saw years ago.
They're all in to authoritarism and even fascism.
@joeo10 @bh @zackwhittaker it’s all about the possession of wealth, the capitalist way. that average humans can easily succumb to.

@happyborg @zackwhittaker Their stance “Profits numero uno!”, and protecting them by hobnobbing with (bending over for?) The Head Shit.

@zackwhittaker Visual intelligence has been available on iPhone for more than a year. How do you imagine having to say, “Siri, add this event to my calendar,” will worsen privacy in visual intelligence on wearables?
