Security researchers investigating network traffic and pointing out vulnerabilities is a good thing. Rushing to conclusions that (insert_company_name_here) is spying on users based on this data is careless at best, and makes the "researcher" out to be a fool.

I trust what Apple says - they make their money selling products. Their users are not their products. Apple haters would love to prove this false, but I just don't see Apple as being naive and short-sighted enough sell customer data for comparably minuscule revenue.

Money laundering through charities only works when you A) control the charity, or B) are a recipient of funds from the charity. Neither is likely the case here.

And your country's fiat currency is not "imaginary?" haha.
