What the privacy measures are doing is giving the user the ability to review requests for access to your personal data by parties you aren't already trusting by virtue of owning the device.
That’s the honest truth, but they don’t put it there because it would bother people.
It’s oddly convenient to say it’s true for one case, but for the other case it’s okay because it’s Apple.
One day we will learn that ultimately we cannot trust a corporation - as that is a moving target - but instead trust reasonable operating principles for data security and privacy.
And for what it is worth.. I’d rather override all of my data that Apple collects to be stored on servers in the US. It’s nothing against China... but everything against their government.
It’s worth noting I have similar concerns with the US government too, but it is a small step in a better direction.
