Apple is not even in the same spyware league as Google. Don't try to muddy the waters.

But true, Google can't be stopped as long as software developers and companies continue to sell out for ad money.

"Apple is not even in the same spyware league as Google." - Why? Seriously asking.

They make money from products and are the only remaining big tech company not mining customer data. Google and Facebook are built on the idea of spying on users. Microsoft is moving in that direction.

They've also taken a public stand for privacy, whether out of self-interest or not, that's something Google will probably never do.
