the only reason apple cares about security is so theyre the exclusive vendor of your information.
they both play ball with everyone, apple just charges more
EDIT: IOS had a “feature” where it would phone home to ask if every application was allowed to launch, but it didn’t use any security like TLS. this is an unbelievable security hole that allows everyone on the wifi to see what youre doing and network admins to prevent you from running any program. this show how little they care about your privacy, and how much they care about control
It’s not giving good results because this is bullshit. Think about how every single thing that Apple does is scrutinized to the nth degree. They recently had a slate of bad press that amounted to “did a thief grab your passcode and then steal your phone? They can do bad things with it!” If what this poster claimed was anywhere close to true, how many “Apple outed closeted person when entire coffee shop can see he’s using Grindr” stories would there have been?

Lol no apple pays google to disappear this info and make it very hard to find.
It also happened like 4-5 years ago, and was not covered by any major news org, so it would be hard to find anyway.
It was for macos not IOS and everyone found out about this feature when apple server went down and nobody could start apps for a bit.
Im having a hard time finding any info about it either, but I’ll keep looking.
You should be aware that macOS might transmit some opaque information about the developer certificate of the apps you run. This information is sent out in clear text on your network.
It CONFIRMS everything I said! the only thing it disputes is that its not the “application hash”, but the “apps certificate id” which is a meaningless distinction because it actually makes it easier to figure out which apps they’re running.
the only baseless accusation here was when you said I was bullshitting because you couldn’t find it on google on 2 seconds 🤦
Please source any part of this comment. Who are they vending my info to? How do they make money on my info? How did I manage to miss what would have been a huge story (apple sharing app usage in the clear?)
If we’re talking about privacy, this is just objectively not even close to being true.

Is there more info on that phone home vulnerability? Googling it isn’t giving good results.

EDIT: I believe the feature was called “gatekeeper”

You’ve got another baseless accusation in the first sentence of this post. Anyway, the person who commented here on your post has it:

let me read you a quote from that blog post:
