iPhone protected you from Facebook call scraping. Android, not so much.

Your online privacy is more secure if you are not on Facebook

Not entirely correct. Facebook collects your browsing history even if you aren't a Facebook user due to their agreements with third parties.

I tested that myself. I installed a barebones Windows and Linux VM on one of my machines. Browsed several websites then looked at the cookies stored on my computer. Guess what? A facebook cookie was on my computer despite NOT using those virtual machines to go to, or browse Facebook at all.

Facebook is everywhere, and that my friend, is the problem.

It used to be that a cookie stored on your computer from a specific website was ONLY readable by that website. Not anymore!

You are an insulting member of the anti-Apple hate brigade. . . it's quite obvious, you really do know nothing about how Apple does it's encryption and are unwilling to learn, and instead merely throw out innuendo and lies. You have yet to address my specific answers to your FALSE claims that Apple has not had its 256 bit AES encryption audited which I have posted to you TWICE, verbatim, showing you exactly what it means, and WHO has certified it, and how that certification is used. YOU only repeat your accusation that it has NOT BEEN CERTIFIED. . . because someone apparently equally ignorant as you told you that lie.

You use ad hominem attacks (refusing to use my actual Freepname), lies (the certification issue), and slurs (repeated insults to me) in your posts, and do not address the people who DO know more about the topic at hand with any respect, instead baiting and insulting them, intending to incite a flame war.

There was ZERO purpose in your non sequitur comment about Apple and Chinese workers in the ANDROID problem thread. . . except to attempt to incite a flame war. You, if you know as much as you claim, have to know that FoxConn is the largest contract assembler in the world and works for far more contractors than just Apple. . . but you wanted to gratuitously SLUR Apple in that post, for no other reason that spoiling the thread. That is the essence of a Thread Troll.

Ergo, garth, although I have engaged you in an attempt to educate you about the actual facts, you have never responded truthfully in kind. Instead at every turn responded as a TROLL. I will take the advice of multiple other Freepers and not just engage you again. You, as you said, apparently proudly, since you won't take the time to even read Apple's Security White Papers, not at all familiar with Apple's Security Systems. . . and yes, you have said it would be simple to bypass Apple's SEP, and you also said it would be easy to transfer Apple's 256 bit AES encrypted data to another computer for decrypting, showing YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKNG ABOUT, which you would if you had bothered to read what I wrote to you or Apple's White Papers.

Since you just continually repeat the same ignorant things about what you DO NOT KNOW ABOUT APPLE, and REFUSE TO LEARN, over and over. I'm done.

"You are an insulting member of the anti-Apple hate brigade. . . I'm done."

Of course you're done Swordmaker. You've been proven to be a liar. I posted direct quotes that refuted the lies you made about me and challenged you to post direct quotes in return that proved you were not lying. Your failure to do so leaves standing the fact that you are a liar.

Of course, the fact that you were caught lying won't stop you from spouting your Apple talking points on future computer threads. You're so blinded by the awesomeness of all things Apple that you can't even see that brown smear of Apple-delight on the end of your nose LOL

Have a nice day Apple-head!
