      Ok, I’m hopping off here, but

      Manik Berry

      With a Master’s degree in journalism, Manik writes about big tech and has a keen eye for political-tech news. In his free time, he’s browsing the Kindle store for new stuff read. Manik also adores his motorcycle and is looking for new routes on weekends. He likes tea and cat memes. You can reach him at manik.berry@fossbytes.com

      This journalist tells you apple stores health data. Aside from that being very vague (your DOB could possibly be considered a “health data”), he provides no evidence or sources at all, like any decent internet journalist trying to grift of a blog to survive.

      The internet will always tell you you’re right, the question is: why would they and how could they benefit from that, when they stand so much to benefit from not doing it, let alone save themselves the hassle of dealing with that data.

      Anyway, another day on the internet arguing between two people who absolutely won’t see the other’s viewpoint. What it is to be human.

      no one said apple doesn’t collect any data at all. The fact that your article says apple collects some data relevant to their services, which people choose to use, does not mean they are listening to everything on your device’s microphones.

        Ah damn it. Forgot the cult stage of “it’s okay that they collect it.” That comes after “No they dont do it.”

        And now we are at the “No they dont listen 24/7”

        And in about 5 years you are telling others that it is okay that they listen for 24/7.
