    As the article says, Apple and Google both do it. Apple disclosed it, Google did not.

    How is your conclusion ‘I don’t trust Apple’?

      The Ars article on this said Google had been disclosing this for the past decade already whereas Apple didn’t.

        It said that Google put it in their aggregated report. Not that they disclosed it. There is a big difference between ‘we got 100 requests’ and ‘we got 10 requests for X info, 30 for Y info’.

        ETA: I just looked at the data again, it’s broken in to categories like FISA NSL etc, then it just gives a range of requests 0-1000 etc.

          I do? I don’t use google services at all. On my phone I run Lineage os and for file sharing I use self hosted nextcloud.

            You can’t really go anywhere on the internet without using Google in some capacity. Cookies and trackers in all the things. Ads aplenty, and blocking them is perpetually an arms race.
