Amazon products are the worst if you are concerned about privacy (their tablets are awful)... Google probably comes at a close 2nd and Huawei maybe 20th? (that's a wild guess but Amazon is hard to beat)


Wow - really? I'd say that Facebook is far, far, far worse than Amazon. And Google is certainly worse as well. Look at the data collection on Android phones, for example.

At least Amazon, from day 1 of the Echo/Alexa launch, noted clearly (not in small print, but right there in pictures on the product detail page) that the user's voice was going up to the cloud. And provided a microphone-off switch right on top of the device. Where's the mic-off button on your (typical) Android or iOS phone?


Presumably Apple are the best in your totally impartial and unbiased opinion, right?


Apple is better at PR for sure... but we have seen in the past that they lie about sharing your information with the government...
