this is where Apple has won the culture war - when it comes to privacy, Apple is most trusted while Google and Facebook are not trusted

Facebook has 3 billion monthly active users, Whatsapp has 2 billion, Instagram has around 1.4 billion, Google Chrome has 65% market share and Google search has 90%. The average person doesn't care about online privacy.

The average person doesn't care about online privacy.

Apple has never sold to the average consumer, they've always marketed to a smaller but more wealthy group of consumers who may care about privacy more so than others.
