Absolutely not would I give Apple a free pass either. They can say all the nice things they want about protecting my privacy, but I do not trust any commercial entity will act in my best interest. Especially when they all have government requirements to hand over my data when a cop asks nicely.

We are speed running into a neuromancer dystopia where tech companies control every facet of our lives. Why would I be ok with them making it easier to monitor my every keystroke?
