Bud is the smartest guy in the room. Any room. Apple is lucky to still have him around.

iCloud file storage is de-duped just like DropBox and all the other cloud storage providers, to save lots of cash. This means that even though the data is encrypted at rest, they are able to fingerprint "known bad" files from other sources and rat you out to anyone with a subpoena in a cryptographically provable fashion.
Just beam them to the Klingon ship, where they’ll be... no Tribble at all!
*laughter, credits roll*
Oh ok. Should apply to everyone. It will be pretty much meaningless because even when the government makes laws that apply to everyone, nothing applies to the agencies who work in shadows.
Is your avatar that world's smallest smiley face that I remember seeing in the news at some point?
We buy Apple products and they have no rights to collect my Analytic data from iphone,Watch & icloud in order to improve their services - if they want analytic data i think it is fair that Apple should pay for it- basically you are paying for uploading data not apple
Yup.
You can shut off all analytics & data sharing.
They "pay" you for it by providing great services to you which require such information to create.
Certainly, I've turned off "Analytic data". I don't see any reason why my data will help them to improve their products & services.
It feel like they want to watches you every single movement, what's your thought, what you like and what you don't like it. It just feel so spooky to me lol
who known one day siri will read your mind that might supprise you big time....I wonder how Apple feels about this one then:-

We have it worse down-under here... But maybe its a taste of "What's to come for U.S" as well
"We could make a ton of money if we monetized our customers," Cook said in March. "If our customers were our product. We've elected not to do that. We're not going to traffic in your personal life."
Cook may not have a choice. Would be interesting as this heats up

Google cannot hold the same standards. It upturns their entire business model. Google should be paying their subscribers and users for data they collect. But that’s my views.
A more alarming trend is “Trading your fitness data for insurance discounts”
https://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/trading-your-fitness-data-for-insurance-discounts-1.4834601
The initial trend to convince people to submit their health data for immediate life insurance cost reductions, without any promise to not raise prices if cancelled or “health habits” change. Cause fitness health ideals change. Example as a teeen in 80’s to 90’s running was good for you, now too much impact on shins, knees ?? These changes as new data is found along with training methods etc will change what is perceived to be “healthy”. Check the footnote in the video about apps to detect smoking actions when raising your hand yikes!
Max Power is better (Simpsons)
Max Power is from an old early 90’s Saturday morning kids show! Digitize Him is a phrase I recall.
You: "Siri, can you read my mind?"
Siri: "Yes. It amazes me you manage to live in anything that small."
I did a Google reverse image search. I consider myself *whooshed*
This is what I was thinking of:
If this is what it sounds like, Apple and other big corps would love this because it would massively burden smaller companies, in which case I'd hope it goes nowhere. But I don't know yet. Google's reaction would indicate whether that's the case.

It sounds like GDPR, which also sounds reasonable if you present it well but sucks in reality.

I wouldn't say "always," but when it comes to privacy-related things, yes. If Google comes out against this, I'll know it's legit. If they support it too, then we better believe it's a trap.
