Apple is just here to help right?

I would guess that since there are a lot low information Mac users out there, they’ll never know or understand the ramifications of their porn stashes and financial records being sent to the cloud and ALGORE’s doorstep. Now all their files (Whether they like it or not) will be stored in perpetuity instead being erasable by a ball peen hammer to the Hard Drive. Delete will mean nothing.

Centralized data storage, and information gathering about their customers is Apple’s new mantra, don’t you know.

Yes, Apple (and it’s not just Apple) wants to sell access to your home and your head to the highest bidder, and their product is deteriorating relentlessly as a result.

No, I don't know. Apple has stated categorically that, unlike their competitors such as Alphabet/Google, they do not collect data or information about their customers and respect their customers' privacy.

Read what the new macOS Sierra security will include.

Data is encrypted to a 256bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) before uploading and only the user has the key. When Apple gets it, they entangle it with four other users and also also encrypt it.
