    I got downvoted as fuck a couple of months agot when I commented on Reddit that iCloud documents were not encrypted. I replied linking the icloud website and this sing “–”, which appears on the cell where “encrypted” or something like that should appear. I’ve turned iCloud off during the lockdown and now I’m struggling to move everyting to FOSS ASAP. My iMac is still constantly pinging to Apple servers. Although I know it shouldn’t be worrisome, it’s something unwelcomed. FOSS, Nextcloud, Debian, Rasbpian, etc. have entertained me during the lockdown months. FOSS alleviates my paranoia, my constant grumpiness and it makes me appreciate the greatness of the human race

      Work of the Apple fanboy army. It is rampant on r/privacy and r/PTIO, and even some of the mods themselves are American iPhone users, so you know why criticism of Apple will always get the flak.

          Apple fanboys are a huge problem in privacy community. They serve to mislead people and seek confirmation bias for their loaned or EMI’d purchases.

          These people are absolute fools who think privacy can be bought with money, when I have a 100% FOSS simple guide to attain privacy on any Android phone, even as cheap as $100.

          They probably are the same people who think happiness and social clout (muh Apple logo) and respect can be bought.
