Apple Understands Something About Privacy That Facebook Doesn't https://www.forbes.com/sites/paular...-something-about-privacy-that-facebook-doesnt
Yes, Apple may be less open-source overall than Microsoft, at this point. But their business model -- selling closed hardware and providing mostly free software -- doesn't depend much on collecting data about their customers. So they can take a pro-privacy stance in the US, differentiating themselves from Google, Facebook, and (now, more and more) Microsoft. However, they're not idealistic friends of privacy, by any means. Contrast them and Google vs China, for example.

Apple removed Facebook’s Onavo from the App Store for gathering app data August 22, 2018 https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/22/apple-facebook-onavo/
Never was an Apple anything, but they keep steering course in this sort of direction..............well one never knows. Folks are finally sick and just simply fed up with all the noses in their business which is been so easy.
lol at thinking a close-sourced software/OS is going to keep your data and information private and anonymous from the government/TPTB.
True...maybe that is why Steven Jobs coincidentally died of cancer? Lol? Assaination by tptb for trying to circumvent their evil plans for world domination by providing the masses with more "privacy" on their electronic devices through his Apple devices, Lol? In case if you were wondering, I was being sarcastic/ joking.

Apple restores Google’s own internal iPhone apps after privacy brouhaha https://arstechnica.com/information...s-apple-restores-googles-ios-app-certificate/
OK, so Apple wanted to nuke Facebook's and Google's apps that violated their ToS (and users' privacy). Those apps had relied on misusing their enterprise keys to evade Apple app review. So the only way to nuke them was by revoking their enterprise keys. So now they have new enterprise keys, and can reissue their internal apps. But the bad apps are still dead.
