> Even if Google or Apple are _capable_ of doing something evil
Genuinely, it's not Google nor Apple that I fear doing something evil here.
Google will try to give me more targeted ads, without giving that detailed data to their app developers, but instead just making their demographics tools better.
Apple will do what they think will help the circumstance.
I fear the government doing evil with it, especially under the guise of good.
"Hey, we found this terrorist's phone number, turns out he has an Android device. Give me every person that's been physically near him in the last 24 hours"
"Hey, these 37 people were at a protest, where do they spend their off time?"
