The company apparently hopes we forget that it ever made the promise. Apple talks a good game, claiming &ldquo;privacy is a fundamental human right&rdquo;, yadda yadda, but talk is cheap. When it comes to our right to stop our devices from phoning home to Cupertino, Apple is not interested. And if we can&rsquo;t trust Apple to keep its promises, then why should we trust anything else that Apple says, such as that our IP addresses are not logged? After all, it&rsquo;s impossible for us to verify this from the outside. Trust is earned through actions, and in this case Apple has neglected to act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p id=\"apple-memory-holes-ocsp-preference-update-2024-08-13\">Update (2024-08-13): See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/08\/11\/apple-hasnt-yet-fulfilled-this-macos-promise-from-4-years-ago\/\">Michael Burkhardt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@lapcatsoftware\/112944998380995226\">Jeff Johnson<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple, November 30, 2020: In addition, over the the next year we will introduce several changes to our security checks: A new encrypted protocol for Developer ID certificate revocation checks Strong protections against server failure A new preference for users to opt out of these security protections In the September 26 version of that page, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"2023-10-03T18:16:35Z","apple_news_api_id":"130c6dda-d1b8-4007-a93c-a0431238d789","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2024-08-13T14:05:27Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAw==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AEwxt2tG4QAepPKBDEjjXiQ","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[465,30,2385,476,355,48],"class_list":["post-40721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-gatekeeper","tag-mac","tag-macos-14-sonoma","tag-networking","tag-privacy","tag-security"],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40721"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44463,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40721\/revisions\/44463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
