U.S. Senators Urge FTC to Investigate Apple for 'Transforming Online Advertising Into an Intense System of Surveillance'

Security and privacy are two different things. Privacy is how one’s personal information is handled. Security is not that. So on a scale of 1 to 10 for privacy, I give apple a two.

Security and privacy are 2 inter-related things. An insecure OS cannot guarantee a high degree of privacy.

But still not the same. Privacy is the stated policy of the handling of your PII. Different than the security needed to prevent zero day hacks into your computing devices.

Sure, there can be any scale as long as all agree to the subjective definitions. I haven’t read the other players policies in detail. Maybe you can start if by detailing your thoughts.
