Apple vs the FBI

Sure they do, maybe not as blatantly as Google or microsoft, but they most certainly allow your data to be sifted through to identify potential matches in music, news, etc.. things of that nature.  Apple does make most of its money on Hardware and Apps, so they can play 'some' of the high road, in this regard.  But, they still allow the collection and analysis of your data, which then certainly promotes certain companies/music/movies etc.. above others.

Principles also extend beyond user data.  Principles (which every electronics user in the world lacks) such as fair wage for work, paying actual taxes of their home country, and things of that nature.  Yes yes, I'm well aware of how they create products in China, sell them to a shell company in a tax haven at just below market value, then resell them to their supplier at market value so they're only taxed on a tiny, tiny amount.  Ahhh principles.

Ahhh principles.

If we are playing that game...
