      It’s their brand. And I’m glad it is. It’s something Samsung can’t copy (I presume because of the Google backbone) or attack.

      (Written on a Samsung phone btw.)

      Edit. I should probably add why it’s good even when I’m not in their ecosystem. It raises the bar for competition and shows that privacy adds value.

      I don’t know if they actually care, but I think they figured privacy was a great niche to jump in when they started losing more and more market share to android

        It’s a brilliant move for Apple because Google can’t play that game.

        Google is fundamentally an advertising company. They materially benefit from user data in providing a more valuable service to advertisers. If Google takes a strong stance on privacy, it could disadvantage the primary business.
