        Here are a few examples, but if you do some research like I told you to, you’ll stumble upon many more:

          only person that cites sources instead of just being a kind of aggressive tool, this post deserves to be at the top fs

          Click bait

          Click bait

          Hardware flaw

          None of this is spyware. Not a single piece.

          If I cared I could have guessed these were some of the examples you added to your “Apple is bad head cannon” but these still aren’t what is being alleged by the original poster, spyware.

          At best you can claim Apple is using terms and conditions to add wiggle room but again, not spyware.

          I asked if you know what spyware is but I get that it doesn’t matter. Your head cannon is unbeatable and it’s easier to dismiss me as a no nothing asshole. The crowd has spoke, this technology forum is more interested in groupthink than technology.

            What are your sources for debunking mine?
            Besides you just not liking to face the truth?

            Blanket surveillance is not clickbait,
            it’s spyware, and a problem.

            But sure continue to stick your head in the sand,
            that will surely help humanity beat this problem.

                Interesting point about non-conventional cookie practices flagging “privacy-first” users as unique to spying parties. I’d imagine this line of thinking harmonizes with the herd mentality, where if you stand outside of the herd you’re more likely to be spotted and targeted. Makes you wonder what practices users could engage to actually help combat privacy invasion, and which might backfire

                Lol, I’m done discussing with you fruity.

                You’re blatantly ignoring / laughing away evidence to protect the image of a bad, but for some reason, you’re favorite spyware slinging company.

                And on top of it,
                now also bashing the privacy and linux communities since you can’t make valid debunkments :P

                Instead of bashing,
                to suck up to that spying company,
                perhaps you should try defending your rights to privacy for a change.

                You may rant in the void now,
                I won’t waste time on your fanboy nonsense anymore.

        Apple’s entire schtick is the walled off garden where they can control what you’re allowed to do and yes they spy on it

            You’re confusing me with others, just the once, but hey, you’re free to lick apple’s boots. Fairly common knowledge that just about everything corporation that can include spyware does. You think Apple doesn’t track every purchase you make on their platform and utilize that data in reference to your name, phone number, email, geo-location, bundle it altogether and sell to advertisers?

              Yes. Free to think it because it’s true. Apple doesn’t sell their users out, they get their money up front on the hardware…the thing people like you call the Apple Tax.
