Please tell me how Safari or Apple in general works against consumer privacy protection?
Safari is pretty good at privacy protection. Apple doesn't really have an interest in collecting your data and they have a history of implementing features improving privacy (cross-site tracking protection, build-in adblock API, etc.).
The problem is that Safari is only available to the wealthiest in the world.
“””In the recent history of management ideas, few have had a more profound — or pernicious — effect than the one that says corporations should be run in a manner that “maximizes shareholder value.””””
Also related, Tim Cook in a shareholder meeting after a proposal to remove environmental policies/focus:
"We do things because they are right and just and that is who we are. That’s who we are as a company. I don’t…when I think about human rights, I don’t think about an ROI. When I think about making our products accessible for the people that can’t see or to help a kid with autism, I don’t think about a bloody ROI, and by the same token, I don’t think about helping our environment from an ROI point of view.
...
If you only want me to make things, make decisions that have a clear ROI, then you should get out of the stock"
This is yet again a too-simplistic view of things that seems very common with Americans.
Some big companies do unethical things, and you translate that to "all big companies hate consumers and want to eat their children"
