    That doesn’t sound so sinister.

    This post bears the marks of manufactured outrage. Not required; we have plenty of real outrage.

      none of the components are being used to assemble this self imposed panopticon sounded sinister because they were whitewashed through marketing – that same device that can keep track of your movements and who you talk to was adopted by everyone because it was marketed as a fun and convenient way to connect with friends.

      I know people that assume apple can’t access their cloud data without them. This breaks that assumption. Meaning any cloud can be used and given to anyone at Apples discretion.

      It’s Apple…

      Not everyone with an iPhone is tech illiterate, but everyone who is tech illiterate has an iPhone

      Those people might think that the only way for their data to get from one phone to another, is them typing a password onto the phone physically.

      If they were offered this, they may realize that Apple could just clone their phone and everything on it.

      Don’t forget how many social media savvy young celebrities had nudes leak a few years ago because they were iPhone users and iphones back everything up to the cloud by default. Most users most likely never realize that’s happening.
