only Apple murders privacy, today I tried to add an "App Store" account to
the iPad I had set up recently to have an Apple ID (which killed privacy).
*Piece of shit iOS has absolutely zero privacy for God's sake*

Now... Apple murders privacy again by requiring 2FA to prove I'm me.

So I give away my identity (again!) to Apple with a phone number that is
very personal and very validly only mine - and that satisfies Apple's
hunger to know everything there is to know about you that it can get.

When I try to log into the App Store, I'm *required* to give Apple an
address which I did NOT have to give Apple to create the Apple ID.

Huh?

Why can't stupid Apple keep their own identifications in the same place?

But wait... there's more.
Now for this *second* ID on the iPad, I have to give Apple *more* private
information. It's not enough that they already know who I am.

Now they want to know *where I live*.
WTF.

Bastards.

But wait... you'd think the address can be completely bogus, right?

Nope...

It has to be a "valid" address.
Just to create an account on Apple's mainframe servers to get apps.

How do I know that?

Because I type a bogus address (made up so I can't remember it now), and it
fails, but it doesn't tell you why other than it must be a "valid" address.

WTF?

Why is it that only Apple murders privacy just so you can get apps for iOS?

Anyway, I come up with the idea of picking an address off the Internet
using the "Random Address in California Generator" which gives me a "valid"
address so Apple's mainframe servers are happy with the App Store account.

That works. I get the app.

But why did I have to do those machinations?
Why does only Apple murder privacy?

No other common OS system vendor requires you to give up your privacy
just to get apps off the app store so that the device can do stuff.

Just Apple.

That's a fact.
So why do you even have an iPad? There are Android tablets.
That's why he knows so much about each of them.
