  "textContent": "I think it’s important to distinguish between what’s **normal** _to collect and what is_ **unacceptable** to do with that data. It’s pretty easy to accept that Amazon HAS to keep a record of everything we’ve ever purchased, and it’s easy to accept that Verizon towers HAVE to keep logs of every device that connects. However, we should absolutely get ENRAGED when we learn that AMZ/VZW are freaking selling our purchase and location history.\n\nIMHO, Apple has an interesting position. They are definitely more “privacy-aware”, but by nature of us using their devices/services, we generate a ton of data…there’s just too many things it connects to. However, I do actually believe that they currently don’t sell/share/use that data in ways that we’d describe as “personal violations”. There are just so many examples: Safari’s anti- fingerprinting history, Private Relay and Hide My Email, even letting you individually reset your Identifier on the Apple News app.\n\nWith that said, I’m definitely in the camp of “data saved this week is data sold next month”, so we are putting a LOT of trust that Apple will continue with their current Privacy culture. More to your question though, if you have ADP enabled, I highly doubt that Apple is currently breaking user trust.",
