@snowdusk_ Apple vs Google on privacy: a tale of absolute competitive advantage
https://2018.ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on-privacy-a-tale-of-absolute-competitive-advantage/
TL;DR Apple willingly giving up its absolute competitive advantage in privacy over Google would be as daft as Samson shaving his head every morning.
That said, the long term alternatives are p2p, e2e-encrypted, and free stack (software, hardware, and services).
our @diggity of @privacylab on Google surveillance: “Google’s the biggest threat in sheer size and the amount of data they have. And they’re really good at crunching that data...” #SurveillanceCapitalism https://gizmodo.com/i-cut-google-out-of-my-life-it-screwed-up-everything-1830565500

Don’t use Google AMP
“Google AMP is bad news for how the web is built, it’s bad news for publishers of credible online content, and it’s bad news for consumers of that content. Google AMP is only good for one party: Google.” – http://thelink.is/google-amp-bad
“If I had my way, Mobile Safari would refuse to render AMP pages. It’s a deliberate effort by Google to break the open web.” – https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/05/20/gilbertson-amp
