Apple's continued insistence on "privacy" in their marketing is just plain stupid. They somehow assume that if you've bought an iPhone, you automatically trust every single one of their online services as well, including their asinine app review. They literally don't allow you to take your own responsibility for your data, they treat you like a child who doesn't quite understand yet how the world works. It ain't privacy if the damn thing couldn't get past the out of the box experience unless some Apple server allows it.
> like a child who doesn't quite understand yet how the world works.
This is an accurate representation of most people’s relationship with technology. Not the average HN reader, but we are not the majority of the market.
The majority of the market clicks on everything Facebook shows them.
But if the big tech will continue to treat them like that, no progress will be made. The difference is that an actual child eventually grows up and somehow learns the basics of living in a society. This average user, though, is somehow not expected to "grow up".
IMO we are only so good with technology because technology required education to use. But at the same time enabled experimentation with no consequences.
