Here's the reality - I'd take google and apple's privacy protections related to my data over many govts out there?

Is that a bad thing to say? Back to the regular anti google / google news / apple programming.



Oh yeah of course in a heartbeat. I think the main objection I have to apple / google hoarding my data isn't actually apple / google having them, it's that the government can make them fork it over and so them having it means the government does by proxy.


False choice fallacy.

Google and apple can be regulated or even trust busted.

The government can be forced to serve the people instead of the other way around.

Humanity as a whole may have lost many battles, but we have won some. Plus the war isn't over.

Thing can get better, even if they've consistently gotten worse since before I was born.

I'm prone to despair myself, I always have to give myself self affirmations like this throughout my day. Helps me, hope this comment helped someone else out there.

Perhaps this is why people pray to their god/gods if they have them, to give infinite morale in a seemingly hopeless situation. The majority of casualties occur during a route in war.
