It’s really adorable to watch people embarrass themselves by not reading/comprehending the entire comment.
As I said: lesser of evils. I don’t care if Apple truly cares about privacy. I just care whether they will trample on it less than the others will, which I do believe, not because they care but because it might be profitable for them.
Imagine thinking that a whole 3 lines of comment are anything to ponder over very deeply.
We get it. Love Apple, trust Apple! There's not much else there.
Clearly the greater evil though is to enshrine one corporation to rule them all in the digital landscape. If we don't know that, then we haven't thought about the problem at all because we're trading short term security for long term insecurity. Read some Orwell or Huxley. Or just look at human history and how this plays out... what do we know about that? Anything?
Enjoy that! (Got 'em!)
Oh but we can go to Android! Gee, but we're talking about developers… You don't build a successful app business in the United States without going through Apple because they have over half the customers here.
To be clear: I'm fine with Apple signin existing. I am not fine with Apple being able to force every developer to dance to their tune just to be able to get at over half the smart phone users. There's a reason we have antitrust laws for this and not laws against two bit developers gaining your email and that's because one of them is the greater evil, but it's not the one you think it is...
Sorry to burst your bubble but you can read all about how hypocritical Apple is about your privacy right here on HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24109695
