Stopped reading there. If someone tries to sell a lie like that in their first five sentences, I can't trust anything they say.

but it's the truth. where is the lie?
Must they really collect as much data as possible?
Hmmm... Perhaps an Apple fan, upset that the company's Not Quite As Bad policies aren't being celebrated?

Is it a lie?
Meta and Google must collect your data.
Apple does collect some of your data, but their business doesn't depend on it, and I have some degree of control over how much I participate.
I think it's a category error to include all three in the same sentence, but I don't think the author is lying. I do agree somewhat with the sentiment that such a lack of distinction calls the content into question, or at least the author's framing of it.
Disagree. All three companies exist in the set of massively international megacorps who as a matter of routine daily business collect and distribute personal information of the individuals who use their service. Being precious about what percentage of their yearly revenue is generated by this activity seems weird.
