> the fact that, in just a few weeks, Apple plans to erase the boundary dividing which devices work for you, and which devices work for them.

A very overdramatic sentence. It is a bit scary to realise that only now people think that this border is being crossed. It has happened a very long time ago already. The first years of Android, owners were the product, not the phone. Privacy features in the past years might have improved this a little.

Google’s massive success on many services is based on the fact how phones and their software were collecting data for them. User interfaces are just illusions for non-tech persons. They might give you a sense of control.

Now that Apple does not trust us with CSAM material, the end is near. There are arguments for both sides, and many are taking sides to just get attention.

However, you can only solve this problem with politics.
