A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is it far fetched to say that they fight against Meta and Google because they want to be the only ones who have your data?
What about saying that their entire business model is exploiting stockholm syndrome?
A bit. You can download your data from them, it’s not much.
Even if they didn't sell any data, that doesn't mean they don't collect a bunch.
You can tell me all you want, but personal data being so incredibly valuable paired with the fact that Apple was the first trillion dollar company...
Their overpriced hardware doesn't play the only role here.
