2·9 months agoApple doesn’t care about privacy. Apple cares about one thing: money. Their first advertising platform failed to take off, so they turned on their marketing machine and manipulated people into believing that their failure at trying to sell you out was actually some kind of corporate benevolence. There has never been anything further from the truth. Wave a dollar bill in front of Tim Cook and he’ll defile his grandmother’s corpse.

There are a million ways to do this, as have already been described in other comments. This is one more. I built https://photostripper.com/ a while back, when I was practicing building small web applications to learn different tech stacks. Lemmy is not the target audience - you folks know how to do this already, and why would you trust that I’m not keeping copies of your photos (I promise I’m not, but what is that worth?)
Anyway, I’m only mentioning it because it’s my thing and I enjoyed making it.
That’s just called being scammed. There’s no 43% sales tax anywhere in the US.
I worked at Google for over a decade. The issue isn’t that the engineers are unaware or unable. Time and time and time again there would be some new product or feature released for internal testing, it would be a complete disaster, bugs would be filed with tens of thousands of votes begging not to release it, and Memegen would go nuts. And all the feedback would be ignored and it would ship anyway.
Upper management just doesn’t care. Reputational damage isn’t something they understand. The company is run by professional management consultants whose main expertise is gaslighting. And the layers and layers of people in the middle who don’t actually contribute any value have to constantly generate something to go into the constant cycle of performance reviews and promotion attempts, so they mess with everything, re-org, cancel projects, move teams around, duplicate work, compete with each other, and generally make life hell for everyone under them. It’s surprising anything gets done at all, but what does moves at a snail’s pace compared to the outside world. Not for lack of effort, the whole system is designed so you have to work 100 times harder than necessary and it feels like an accomplishment when you’ve spent a year adding a single checkbox to a UI.
I may have gone on a slight tangent there.
It’s mostly spare diapers and a hazmat team.
