So. What do you suggest they in practice?
Not lying that they are improving the privacy of users would be a good start
But what should they specifically do in this case to improve the situation - got any actual suggestions?

Sorry for the delay. In this case they were lying that they have improved their process regarding handling such orders, implying that they will now only comply for fewer orders that they can’t (yet) deny.
They’re lying about many things, such as their respect for privacy, right to repair, sustainability, what else. Oh they’ve lied about use of slave labor if I recall correctly
