Google has been fined 6.2 billion yen by the French data protection authority for violating the GDPR regarding the use of user information in some services such as Google Maps.
Amazon was pointed out by Bloomberg that employees were able to listen to conversations between users and Alexa. It is said that the contents of conversations were restricted to work such as functional improvement, and not everyone was free to eavesdrop, but it has also been pointed out that unnecessary sharing of conversations was being carried out.
Each case has its own point of view, but many large platformers rely on personal information and privacy information for advertisements and various service linkages, and it is naturally their responsibility and risks are inevitable.
Rejecting a request for information disclosure from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) (more precisely, a request to unlock the suspect's iPhone), or refusing "Privacy is one of the basic human rights of the European Union (EU) We will protect even non-residents,” and “We do not think of customer information as a product to make a profit,” etc.
This is because Apple is the only company in GAFA that has a hardware-based platform. Unlike Google and Facebook, there is no need to monetize with advertising business, that is, personal information and privacy information such as user attribute information and action history. This is Apple's strength.
That's not all. The success of the App Store, an ecosystem that distributes games and music linked to devices such as iPhones and Macs, has set it apart from the mere manufacturing business.

Apple's unique security strategy even in GAFA, will it change with the entry of a subscription
When comparing Android devices and iPhones, many experts say "iPhone (iOS) is more secure" It says. Why is it that only Apple is able to stick to its own security policy when giant platformers tend to be lumped together as "GAFA" (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple)? This is because it is the only company in GAFA that has hardware sales as its core business. However, there are some interesting developments. It's a subscription service announced in March.
