The new version of MacOS — and therefore the new generation of Macs — informs Apple of every time the machine launches a program.

The Guardian press seems blissfully unaware of this spying. It even repeats Apple's claims to help users protect their privacy — but only some aspects of their privacy.

The UK's deportation of asylum seekers could be stopped because it violates the stated policy.
