the universe is a "security shithole" unless one can competently protect oneself or have a competent protector/s do it for them.

i certainly don't feel like Apple nor Alphabet is in any vested position to protect me any more competently than i would at least want to have the option to try do for myself. how this post even otherwise tumbled down the 'iPhone versus Droid' bottomless pit is missing that point entirely.

food for thought.

Apple absolutely has an incentive to protect their customers. There’s a reason Android has the horrible reputation it does now, and it’s because Google didn’t give a fuck.
