> I'm thrilled when Apple wields its big stick to stop big tech companies from overreaching.
If Apple did just that, it would have been ok. But they didn't stop at that - they decided to do the very same thing that Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft etc. - after partially preventing their competitors from getting hand on some data they started to deliberately invade our privacy and collect as much of our personal data as they can to mine it. They self-appointed and forced themselves to be our conservatorship ( https://medium.com/@tonytyre9/what-is-conservatorship-legal-... ) because we have all been judged too stupid to manage it ourself. And like any abusive conservatorship they also exploit us.
