  • A few massive differences:

    • You opt-in to targeted tracking with Apple. It’s impossible to opt-out with Google. Apple also enforces per-app opt-in for tracking.

    • Apple use your data, but they don’t sell it on

    • Apple features protect you from 3rd party tracking at a software level (Private Relay) and hardware level (MAC randomisation)















  • The post office system is socialist, so are functions like public roads, and fire and police services.

    I’d argue that having the government provide a service isn’t enough to call something socialist. In “The Wealth of Nations”, Adam Smith said that in a free-market economy, the governments role was to provide defence, law and order, and public works (eg. roads and education). If we’re using Marx’s definitions for communism, then surely we have to use Smith’s definitions for Capitalism.
