The Chinese learnt all about tracking from us

CNN put Apple's "walled garden" under the microscope, questioning Steve Wozniak about the tech giant's so-called commitment to user security and privacy versus its vested interests.

Wozniak, ever the straight shooter, admitted, "I think there are things you can say on all sides of it.. I'm kind of glad for the protection that I have for my privacy and for you know not getting hacked as much. Apple does a better job than the others."

But then he dropped the bombshell on tracking, "Tracking you is questionable, but my gosh, look at what we're accusing TikTok of, and then go look at Facebook and Google... That's how they make their business! I mean, Facebook was a great idea. But then they make all their money just by tracking you and advertising. And Apple doesn't really do that as much. I consider Apple the good guy."
