This testimony arises in the context of an antitrust lawsuit between Google and the U.S. Department of Justice<\/a>, where this agreement is being questioned, among other things. The relationship between Apple and Google may seem paradoxical, especially considering the fundamental differences in their corporate philosophies regarding privacy. However, Cue emphasized that Apple has incorporated multiple privacy safeguards into its Safari browser<\/strong>, and the agreement with Google requires the search giant to allow users to search without signing in. According to the executive, this is enough to protect searches made from Apple devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
