>There have been some serious accusations made against Apple infringing on user privacy, and essentially snooping and collecting all usage data, and I mean ALL
Apple leverages iCloud backups to have visibility and LEO-compatibility into what you're doing on the device. Generally speaking, your day to day activities are carefully protected with good protocols and security design.
Carefully protected? That's security stuff. I'm asking if Apple is analysing everything I do on their computers.
From the links above, it seems that Apple's Privacy policy reserves the rights to monitor ALL your data and usage of its devices, and that it then actuates this policy using snooping mechanisms in Mac OS. Do you agree?
You mean OSCP? It's hilarious how much hate apple gets for that when verisign/sectigo/digicert/letsencrypt "spying" on every website you visit across most operating systems elicits... nothing. If anything that's worse, because people finding out you visit grindr.com is probably way worse than people finding out you use iTerm2 or whatever.
