iPhone Data and privacy

Privacy

    Nice to see Apple taking the initiative to finally provide a decent set of controls to protect from tracking, and silent sharing of data

    https://www.apple.com/privacy/control/

    What’s odd is why it’s taken Apple so long to finally accommodate this when it’s been mainstream in Android for years. As much as I dislike the Apple ecosystem for a number of different reasons, this is quite appealing - further bolstered by the advertising campaign which I noticed during an ad break for a TV series I was watching this evening.

    Another interesting thread topic around the whole privacy side of things is here.

    Given this new privacy campaign, I’m interested to understand the genesis for this in the sense that privacy advocates have been requesting this from Apple for years, and now suddenly, as if by magic, it’s now available in the latest iOS release.

    @JAC wow. Thanks for the great comments. They are truly appreciated. I tend to agree with the social media comments you’ve made. This is made all the more prominent in relation to recent events in Southport for example, and toxicity is a huge issue. Just look at some of the comments from trolls - they are truly disgusting, and the perpetrators seem to take great delight in the anonymity the Internet affords them. forums in general are much more subject focused, easier to moderate and users are less likely to be banned because they are there for a specific interest or reason, not to cause trouble. Agreed, although discussions can still get out of hand and quite often, these are left to run riot and quickly spiral out of control. A great example of that is here https://sudonix.org/topic/141/how-to-destroy-a-community-before-it-s-even-built there’s something much more calming about coming to a specific page at your fancy, posting and taking part in healthy debates over the real mishmash of social media. Yes, I personally prefer the atmosphere of a forum against the backdrop of unwanted noise via social media.

    @DownPW This won’t be the first time that Amazon and others like them are being bought to account. I recall seeing a documentary on the TV recently where they sent in a reporter with secret cameras to film the strict regimen and constant threat of being fired for not meeting targets that workers are placed under. The surveillance just takes this to a whole new level in my view and it’s like being placed under a microscope for constant scrutiny. This goes well beyond the surveillance placed on prisoners!

    @phenomlab said in TikTok fined £12.7m for misusing children’s data: Just another reason not to use TikTok. Zero privacy, Zero respect for privacy, and Zero controls in place. https://news.sky.com/story/tiktok-fined-12-7m-for-data-protection-breaches-12849702 The quote from this article says it all TikTok should have known better. TikTok should have done better They should have, but didn’t. Clearly the same distinct lack of core values as Facebook. Profit first, privacy… well, maybe. Wow, that’s crazy! so glad I stayed away from it, rotten to the core.

    @crazycells that makes sense. Microsoft tried something similar with Windows but called it “optional updates”
