    As well as the degoogled Android goalpost, I know.

    It’s all choice at the end of the day, isn’t it. I choose Apple for a variety of reasons, and they’ve championed privacy regularly in recent years. Whether we choose to believe the claims, well that’s up to the consumer isn’t it. One thing’s for sure, Google definitely don’t make the same claims.

      yes, mentioning any choice that isn’t custom (like degoogled or linux phones) for any sort of privacy is misinformation, whether you believe in it or not.

      and yes, google is making privacy claims. shit, even meta claims their apps are private, esp whatsapp.

          do their marketing have to be exactly the same as apple’s for my point to have validity?

            No but it seems like being deliberately obtuse is necessary for your point to have validity.

                  then you should start saying things that are actually true? or not believing corporate propaganda at face value?

                    Have I said anything that’s untrue? Or am I just obliged to agree with you? You dismissed Clent’s comment because “Apple’s claims are irrelevant”, so even if they were doing exactly what they say, you wouldn’t accept it. There’s literally no point to this conversation beyond drawing out a disagreement where neither person can categorically be proven correct.
