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.
