I want to take this apart piece by piece because i think every singke thing you say here is wrong, but reading this i get the impression you haven't read a single fucking one of the things you're talking about, including my comment.
Still skipping the asimov thing too, while you retreat into 'rationality bro' and defer to someone else.
You're not correct, but you're not even wrong; you're just parroting.
I've read one of their links, and although it shows Orwell to be an asshole, racist, bigot, and anti-Stalin; it still doesn't make sense as a ground for other statements, especially him being imperialist.
I would think that the whole thing comes from conflating communism and whatever the Soviets were doing, and if anyone thinks that USSR was not the heaven on earth, they are damned

They’ve always refused in the past…
Because guess what? They don't have them. They don't want them. Apple's business is selling hardware, not collecting your data that they would then be liable for. Their business model is not predicated on data mining and collection. Google's is.
This is not to absolve Apple; they are after all a major corporation and therefore inherently evil prima facie. But I don't worry about them selling or leaking my data.
