    My point was not that apple is a protector of your data, obviously they’re not. No large corporation is. The entire ecosystem of google and facebook would not work without data.

    My point was that corporations in the west actually have a chance of fighting against subpoenas and other ways the government might force them to hand out user data, whereas china will probably just make the CEO disappear mysteriously if they don’t comply immediately.

      Western corporations literally rely on the government and the military to keep themselves afloat and in favour. Their “fighting back” is like the fakest “no I don’t want it” from a child looking a the coolest Lego set. They are dogs on a leash and will not bite the feeding hand, even if they have a leash of their own for the feeding hand.
