    People concerned about unethical tech: "We don't want to use devices made by #DataFarming corporations like goOgle that farm our data and violate our privacy, let's all use #iThings!"

    *facepalm*

    Apple routinely:
    *Bans GPL apps from iThings: https://www.zdnet.com/article/android-vs-iphone-the-gpl-question/
    * Silently censors email: https://www.cultofmac.com/103703/apple-may-be-invisibly-filtering-your-outgoing-mobileme-email-exclusive/103703/
    *Violates privacy: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/apple-iphone-ipad-government-data-privacy-transparency-report-2018-a8697761.html
    ... and so, so much more:

    I agree with @aral , we need a freed market of non-corporate hardware vendors.
