Apple is an anti privacy company, but these nutrition label things are nice for marketing. Worth a look.

Oops my bad. iOS 14 glows I hear. But I guess Apple itself glows.
Nothing on you though if you need Apple for FaceTime or iMessage, those are legitimate needs.
wdym?
nah, literally never used these once, pretty unpopular here, it’s just a phone that i got 5 years ago and that works still perfectly fine, but i’ve heard that apparently people in the us miss out on things because they are not included in imessage chats because they have an android phone, which is perhaps the most bizarre form of discrimination i’ve heard of lol
“Glowie” or “glow in the dark” is a non-political meme term used in 4chan and other chans for digital spying agencies (three letter and the like). Same goes for terms like “botnet”. Sort of treating them like radiation that must be kept away. Maybe the term got its birth from radium in clocks that allows to see things in dark.
It was a reference to how Apple is a part of NSA and PRISM program. So to shorten all this, “glowie” term is used.
USA megacorps create discrimination against privacy in general via many ways we know, and Apple does against any non-Apple (99% Android) users by changing contrast of coloured bubbles for chat messages. USA people are lazy to change from “Messages” iMessage app, so they live in their own bubble.
