It's so incredibly non-specific that it's impossible to argue with.

If you want to make a point about Google and privacy then make a specific one that people can debate.

It's not about Google, but about Apple being privacy-oriented. The argument is that people wouldn't call Apple privacy-oriented if it weren't for its competitors like Google being even worse in that regard.

How is your reply diminishing Apple's stance on privacy?

Yes, people do compare and choose based on their priorities (and wallets). That's how competition works, isn't it?

So again, I fail to see how your comment changes anything. Of course people compare products.

> How is your reply diminishing Apple's stance on privacy?

It isn't, it is diminishing some people's view on Apple's stance on privacy.
