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

      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.
