No, it’s about Apple setting Google Search, by far the most popular search engine anyway, as the default in Safari. Nothing about Apple selling user data, which is the claim I’m interested in a source on. As far as I’m aware Apple does not sell user data to third parties, but I’m happy to be proven wrong with a solid source.

Perhaps I should have rephrased myself, then; Apple is a user-data sellout. They're a known collaborator with multiple state and municipal surveillance actors, and will gladly sacrifice user security in regions they consider valuable to their supply chain: https://support.apple.com/en-us/111754
Again, every time anyone brings attention to this there's always the same tired relativist apologism. It's bad when Microsoft does it, bad when Google does it, but when Apple has blood on their hands nobody acts like anything is wrong.
