Snowden revealed the PRISM program which shows that the US government works with Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc to surveil the public.

I don’t expect to be able to have privacy in the face of a state actor.

I just want the company to keep my data private from other commercial players. Like don’t sell all my data to anyone who asks or use it to create an invasive model to then advertise/manipulate me.

I think it is reasonable to say that Apple is better on that front than Meta or Google.

No, the PRISM program shows they surveil specific foreigners living outside the US with a court order.

Most of the world are foreigners living outside the US.

Yeah, I don't fully trust Apple, just more than Google and Meta. I would expect the government can get information from just about any company if they really want it.
