I'm extremely glad they did that, and I absolutely give them credit for it. But it only proves that they were willing to stand up to the FBI. It doesn't prove anything else about how they handle your data and privacy. I'm not saying that they abuse it, I'm just saying that we don't know what they do.
All we can do is look at the information so far and it indicates they care about privacy: https://www.apple.com/privacy/ and more specifically https://www.apple.com/privacy/government-information-request...
Well, that isn't nearly all of the information. That is what they say, just like FB says they they don't abuse your privacy.

They have already shown that they are willing to violate people's privacy. That is useful information.
So if you're not going to take it straight from the horses mouth, what then is your complaint and how can anyone ever hope to resolve it?
This isn't personal, I just find it increasingly odd when people in online discussions gripe about company not doing x, is then shown clear examples of x and coping back with "that's what they want you to believe" or when asking for an example, is given one and backpedal saying "that doesn't meet these new criteria that weren't up for discussion from the start"
It boggles my mind.
If you won't offer concessions when evidence comes straight from the source what evidence will you?
