Undoubtedly, security is one of the reasons why millions of people prefer Apple for years. So, how safe is our data in the ‘virtual world’, the greatest blessing of technology, which is at the center of our lives? According to Apple, the US-based Government Privacy and Security Coalition, which consists of big technology companies, does not live up to its name.
The coalition, of which Apple was a member until yesterday, is enacting laws that support the industry rather than the consumer, according to some sources. In response to this situation, the Apple front announced that the coalition did not fight enough for data security and therefore left the group.
