I doubt that, one is better then the other.. Decentralization of data is the best solution imho..
Yeah, one has Youtube, the other no. hahaha jk

People trust Apple with anything?
I dont trust any corp with my data.
Google has always maintained what they do, and we know their an advertising company. They've always told everybody what they're doing (in million word TOSs that's only a lawyer can read) but they told you. Terrible for privacy..... But they told you.
