How does this have anything to do with Apple's privacy policies?
Again ... how does this have anything to do with Apple's privacy policies? People on the inside set up a huge data mining scam to get people's information. It was a collaboration of 20+ rogue Apple employees. This has nothing to do with Apple or their pursuit of protecting people's data. This was an inside job by a bunch of jerk wads who did it for millions of dollars. I think you're very confused here.
So you're blaming an entire company, and their stated privacy policy, because of some rogue employees? Sounds like cognitive distortion to me.
The article said nothing about encrypted data being exposed. Things like Apple ID usernames and phone numbers aren't exactly protected by Apple's encryption methods. More importantly, this was done by rogue Apple employees that have direct access to all this information already and were selling it for millions. And, depending on how the person set up their account, some data was more accessible than others. You're making a whole lot of assumptions with what little information was given in this article ... and pretending to have some sort of inside knowledge as to what entails Apple's methods for user privacy. "Flipping a switch" ... yes ... I'm sure it's just that easy. You're being a bit alarmist here.
The conclusion that all of Apple are bad because of the actions of some rogue employees. The fact that you've now brought up the encryption scenario makes me believe that you wouldn't accept any explanation that wasn't aligned with your conspiracy theories. Seriously, you should read up on cognitive distortions.. you're displaying a few types here.
Your're probably one of those guys who believe in Chemtrails as well...
More cognitive distortion. I feel the study of psychology would be greatly beneficial to you.. and to your credibility.
