Google is stopping privacy for users

One major WWDC debutant, an iOS 13 and MacOS Catalina feature called “Sign in with Apple,” might be the company’s most tangible act of privacy protection yet. It’s not a productivity, communications, or entertainment app with data privacy as an added-on guarantee. Its whole purpose is to help users preserve their own privacy as they move around the web. In that sense, Sign in with Apple may be the very first privacy product from Apple.
This evolution helps the company further stand apart from other big tech companies. Apple has been openly critical of Facebook’s and Google’s core advertising businesses, both of which rely on the harvesting of user’s personal data to target ads. “The truth is we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer, if our customer was our product,” Cook said last year. “We’ve elected not to do that.” (Together, Google and Facebook control about 60% of the U.S. interactive advertising business.)
Last month, Google CEO Sundar Pichai fired back in an op-ed in the New York Times. He suggested that Apple’s take on privacy is great, if you can afford Apple products. “For us, that means privacy cannot be a luxury good offered only to people who can afford to buy premium products and services. Privacy must be equally available to everyone in the world.”

Sundar will fuck up the Fintech business, Apple wins this hands down.



Privacy is not a luxury item, privacy is as cheap as a counterfeit proof ID card. S undar is talking abut the cheap subsidies that result when Google scrapes data for a profit. Hence, we can never expect Google to play a role in the sandbox, Timmy, however, is already here in the sandbox with us.

Facebook is running scared, and their bogus coin will not help. Zuck has also made a sham of privacy, and as a result his liquidity net is dangerous and should be avoided.

Apple has the smart card technology, now apple should extract just that technology. Put that tech in mouses with biometrics, put it in their iPod and make a contract manager,  build it into their computers, and Apple will shine on the hill while google and facebook are limited to theft.

This issue is not new, google and facebook have been reading this blog about the topic for years, they knew exactly what was required, and they told us to fuck off.  Now, I tell google and facebook, fuck off until they understand sandbox.  Apple will do just fine, thank you.
