Yes because they’re sooooo transparent about how they handle you data. And they’ve NEVER lied before riiiiight?
It’s not that they’re fake for not being private enough, they’re fake because of their long history of dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Or would you like to ask them what “current competing hardware” means on their next press release chart?
Apple was a cult of personality run by a snake oil salesman until jobs died. Now it’s a shell of that, run by a board of investors. Why do people on communities like this, an ostensibly ant-capitalist community, still feel the need to defend them? It’s always so weird to me.

No, but I clearly didn’t say that. I just said you’re assigned the wrong reason for their actions. They didn’t do it because they were atheist. They targeted waaaaaay more people than religious groups. They did what China is doing now to the uyghurs. It’s clearly a terrible thing, you’re just trying to manufacture an atheist pogrom when this was your standard totalitarian cultural genocide.

The khmer* rouge didn’t kill people “in the name of atheism”. They were largely copying the Chinese “great leap forward” pushing to cultural unification through genocide of minority groups. Yes, many of those groups were religious minorities, but to say they killed them in the name of atheism is like saying that the soviets killed people because they hate freedom. It’s obscenely disingenuous and clearly said to push an agenda.
I don’t trust them. Point blank. I don’t trust that they do or don’t do what they claim. They have been caught in bald faced lies numerous times before.
I’m not saying Google is better, I’m just calling bullshit on their claim of privacy. I don’t believe for a second that they aren’t monetizing your data and just calling it some newspeak term they made up to weasel out of admitting it.
Why do you feel the need to defend them?
