Sorry, I thought that it was well known... did a quick search and found this: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/18/imessage-...

duck.com for more examples...

That isn’t an example at all. It’s a random assertion from a 3rd party with no validation.

The onus is on you, the person who made the claim, to find examples that have enough evidence to be taken as factual.

I don’t trust any big company and assume they’re all lying, but I trust random online assertions without evidence even less.

An example would be them actually being shown to be lying about something factual.

Not just someone offering an opposing opinion.

”This article is more than 6 years old”

At that time Google’s motto was still “Do no evil”...
