Google doesn't sell data, it sells targeted access to users based on that data. Let's be precise if we're going to discuss the practical privacy implications of both platforms.

Meanwhile if you use iCloud backups all your data is one subpoena away from law enforcement.



Correct. But why does google deserve to know everything about you? What does it matter if they can still browse everything about you and they happen to resell targeting. All still bad. I agree the Warrentless wiretaps are a problem for every American company, google included.

My point stands, apples revenue is not from privacy violating advertising and has no motivation for data collection beyond product improvement
