Think about who big tech is after. Who have they attacked. YOU!!!!
They'll be able to see what you took screenshots of, what you sent to friends in iMessage, what you saved as you found truth, what you disputed as you researched politics and COVID and every other topic.
Then they blackmail you. They can plant anything and blame you. Think about it. All they have to do is plant ONE image and blame you. Then you spend the entire rest of your life fighting to get your reputation clean. If you have a security clearance YOU ARE DONE!
Apple will crush anyone they want. They will have access to everything you do. Through your Mac, through your iPhone, because of iCloud integration and backdoors you know they built into iOS and MacOS. Everything you research, everything you have posted, every site you have visited, every photo you saved, every image you edited, everything that was sent to you that you didn't even ask for, every joke, every meme. All of it can be used against you.
This is freaking madness. Apple needs to stand down. I will never give them another cent of my money. Ever. I'm almost a fanboy, but they've lost that. I have many Mac computers, 4 iPhones in the house, headphones, etc. NEVER AGAIN!!! Replacing it all. iCloud done. I'm out.
You?
They have had the ability to look at your media, messages and content for years. This is nothing new. This is just them admitting it.
I switched to Linux in 2010 when my windows copy was corrupted and I didn't have a backup copy. Time to go back after moving to Mac around 2014.
