Apple made some waves at CES 2019 by placing a billboard outside the Las Vegas Convention Center that needled its competitors over user privacy. This year, the company will have an official presence, with Jane Horvath, its senior director of global privacy, set to appear January 9 on a panel called the Chief Privacy Officer Roundtable. The company will be showing off its HomeKit smart home platform during CES.
There, Horvath will likely argue for increased privacy protections. The roundtable is also expected to be attended by executives from Facebook and Procter & Gamble, as well as a Federal Trade Commission member. Whereas companies like Facebook and Proctor & Gamble both have much to gain from collecting detailed information for advertising purposes, Apple’s taken a completely different stance, and that’s because it has less to lose.
Apple doesn’t rely on advertising revenue to run its business, as hardware and services are its bread-and-butter. It also forbids third parties from collecting data on its users without consent and gathers information anonymously without linking it to a specific person or account.
The company is doing the same with its HomeKit too, most recently with the HomeKit Secure Video API, which allows for processing of images and video to occur locally rather than in the cloud. The API also allows for up to 10 days of stored and encrypted video on a user’s iCloud account, which is only viewable by the camera owner.

Good for Apple.
Screw Zuck and Bezos and Google. Let the, choke on their al gore rhythms.
“Apple doesn’t rely on advertising.” Good news.

Wouldn't surprise me if he nicknamed it "The SPLC-Intruder"

What do either of your idiotic memes have to do with the topic of this thread? Nothing, just more anti-Apple Delusional Hate Brigade mongering with no basis in fact.
The one about China is to remind every one that when Tim Cook brags about privacy rights of Apple customers like he’s doing in your post, everyone should remember that he SOLD OUT hundreds of millions of Apple customers in CHINA, and there’e nothing stopping him from doing it to us here except your and his protestations to the contrary.
(the other one reminds everyone he takes our money and uses it to promote perversion).

Apple to move Chinese iCloud keys to China servers, opens door to government data requests
If Apple’s Chinese Management does not comply with these laws, the penalty in China is not a fine, but imprisonments and can be execution. What would YOU do when faced by Chinese court orders? Thumb your nose and refuse? Somehow I think you’d pull the apps too.
And so did every other operator of cloud services with Chinese customers, BTclinger. Chinese LAW required it, and Apple kept possession of those keys at their Apple offices. They respond to legal search warrants, as they do in every other country in the world. How hard is that to understand? Chinese have their own laws which are not the same as the laws that apply in the USA. Get that simple fact through your hard head!
” What would YOU do when faced by Chinese court orders? Thumb your nose and refuse? Somehow I think you’d pull the apps too.”
PULL OUT OF CHINA and join the free world in destroying CHina’s access to the WWW until the Chinese people rise up and EXTERMINATE THE COMMUNIST PARTY.
“Oh that mean man Hitler, we can’t make him mad!”
ROTFLMAO! Exactly WHO in the free world are you going to join in doing that, BTerclinger? It’s going to be a mighty small caucus of you and who else in that room with you?
China has blocked out more of the WWW on their own than those who are boycotting them. You are truly delusional.
“China has blocked out more of the WWW on their own than those who are boycotting them. “
AND THATS OUR MISTAKE.
And you’re a surrenderist.
Since they won’t say what CES is, this article is worthless.
You don’t know what the Consumer Electronic Show is? Where have you been?
No idea, it’s not something I follow.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is the largest and most attended and watched show of new electronics in the world. It’s where, except for Apple and sometimes Samsung, the newest electronic developments and new products are introduced for the next year. It’s where the buyers and sellers come together to find out what is coming and to order what will be offered to the public and where the market will be going. There are literally thousands of manufacturers and vendors there.
The sole exceptions have lately been Apple, joined recently by Samsung cellular phones announcements.
