What can ya do?

Follow basic opsec

 

[Sukairain]

don't purchase their products

Even without these privacy problems, Apple products are just shyt for what they cost and considering the competition.

It's like paying top dollar for a British sportscar, an Aston or a Jaguar (which everybody knows are unreliable, poorly engineered lemons), when you can buy Japanese and have a better ride for a fraction of the price

Kinda hard to be anything but apathetic when more stuff like this comes out. Nobody is trying to stop this stuff from happening it feels

Yes there are. Various Linux OSes are built around full privacy.

Apple got that BDE:

The tracking in Windows 10 is just as bad if you only knew.

Anyways, unless you wanna use Unbutu/Linux distros(which I would if I didn't play video games) then this is just something you gotta live with. It is what it is.

When the day comes that they start wrecking people for piracy based off the tracking they do, we're going to feel stupid for thinking this way but seems like nothing we can do about it

 

[Coco Loco]

Of course and Apple isn't the only company doing this

Okay. Apple is one of many companies doing this. We are in the tech age, everything we do/own has something in it to track us. Only way to avoid it is living off the grid

At least we can pinpoint who's tracking us.

There are ways to avoid it besides living off the grid but they require sacrifice that most people aren't willing to make.

Don't use tech to do your dirt.

Plenty of ways to avoid it

-A secure OS(ArchLinux, a million fedora/debian based distros)
-Pre-paid cellular devices
-VPNs/VPN routers
-Piracy rather than signing up for streaming services

The issue is all those ways sacrifice being user-friendly, intuitive, stylish, and functionality with various programs/games without jumping through hoops. At the end of the day, it's easier to just say fukk doing all that, especially when you're not doing anything illegal/just pirating.

I get a little worried if i'm pirating expensive software from companies that have a history of coming after people for pirating but even then I don't do all that, so I imagine for the average person it's like really fukk it.

None of those are immune to PRISM's reach

You don't really understand what's been going on huh?

I'm just talking about for the average user avoiding Apple/Microsoft/ad-based tracking/A few law enforcement agencies.

The fukking NSA being after you is a whole different discussion

thats incorrect. with a little knowledge and discipline you can take steps to thwart many survellance methods. the only thing that is practically unavoidable is carrier triangulation.
