Anatomy of Apple's Personal Knowledge Graph — Eighth Rank
8rank.ai
external-link
Every Mac since macOS 13 (allegedly) ships a pair of daemons whose only purpose in life is to build a graph about who you are, whom you know, how those people are related to you and to each other, how you communicate with them, where you go, what you do and when. In this post, we look into how this system works and give you a tool to peek into your own graph.

    they won’t sell it or lets 3rd parties come even remotely close to it

    If they secretly let the government double dip, I don’t think I want to trust any other claims they and their marketing makes.

    Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data - Ars Technica

    What are the odds that Google also claims it doesn’t sell your data, it “shares” it.

    But would you trust them?

      Even Apple is going to listen to the government. They have done things to limit what they can tell them but most people don’t use it. And to be fair so has Google it is why location data is now on device instead of on the cloud with Google.

      All cloud operators are beholden to their governments.
