Selling??? who said anything about selling, that would imply a voluntary transaction. No, more like where Huawei end and the Chinese government begin being not so clear.
I get your point though, the US is not exactly innocent of this stuff. Between the two of them mind, I'll take the devil I know.

As for Apple, I'll trust them with whatever information of mine they might collect over the plethora I know Facebook are itching to get their grubby mitts on.

      It's funny how no one dares to question the untouchable Apple when it comes to their privacy/security but everyone (especially on here) wants to jump on the bandwagon and start bad mouthing Huawei and China

      All I'm saying is, India and US aren't any better. Especially America, didn't ringdoorbell sell customer data to the FBI and Police last year without customer permission?? But some you want to accuse Huawei of selling your data to China

      All I'm saying Google is your friend. Bit of research and you'll soon find out your own country is doing this stuff

        Haha, no. Only last year I had 6 bots texting me via WhatsApp with spam messages, trying to steal my data if I click a link. iMessage gives me none of that shit.

          yalim, 18 Oct 2022why use imessage and limit usage to apple devices? whatsapp... moreA quick glance at the app privacy section for WhatsApp on the app store may tell you. Zuck might be right in his claims of 'being more secure', but that means it's only FaceBook themselves rifling through every last aspect of a user's private life looking for whatever they can sell to the highest bidder. It says something that when you click on the app privacy section for any of Facebook's service apps, you then have to scroll considerably to get to the bottom of the list.

          Ironic really when you think about it, see I can believe Zuck has instructed his cronies to make the likes of WhatsApp as secure as possible, it's easier to charge more for information when you are the only one able to sell it. His grandstanding on the virtue of 'Privacy' is a bit much though, considering that user data still gets shared about, only it's at the other end of a FaceBook receipt.........

            Anonymous, 18 Oct 2022You already gave your organs to apple. It is enough.Ahahaha ha ha aaaah. So funny. Except it's not really that more expensive and the experience is on whole different level. Not that any of you would actually know since you're all stuck on budget Androids and screaming loud how you're experts of the world on all Apple despite never even seeing any of their products first hand.

              In the current world, there is no humanity. We all are walking and talking money machines. Every single part of our body to the things we use to the things we stand up or with all are money.

                So in conclusion, he basically saying " I will sell your data as well but not as bad as the other seller" ?

                      Zuck is actually perfectly right:
                      iMessage privacy/security is typically by far overrated, by those not willing to check the details.
                      Time to bring this to broad awareness.
                      APPLE's cloud backup security needs urgently to be adressed, if they want to stay credible with their privacy claim.
                      Still: it's not all about encryption, to make a messanger trustworthy ;-)

                        As if we don't know meta weak polices in the security industry we all know that apple is more care full in its security polices that why it's delaying to deploy usb-c type and, we apple users we are ok with it, why is every one wants to prove that they do great than apple yet in real world apple leads in every thing

                              Many of you talking about telegram but telegram is way too slow and it cannot sync in the background and result is delayed messages. Only good thing about telegram is that it keep all your chats on cloud by default and not locally but in everything else specially the user experiance whatsapp is far more superior. Instant messaging has to be "instant".
