Why is every other article playing the anti-privacy game these days? If anything, the discussion in the article should read as pro-privacy. If there is so much value in private information, then further to ethical, there might also be financial motivation to safeguard our data. Even more so in enterprise environments and as the boundaries between personal and business devices are getting blurrier. This is also why I think enterprise will move on to MYOD (make your own device) from BYOD.
- walterbell 11y agoCould you expand on MYOD?
- cgio 11y agoIt is just a reference to a return of the systems perimeter within the control of the enterprise. As monitoring and data collection functionality becomes more prevalent, embedded and hard to identify even on traditional platforms (e.g. Windows), I think it makes sense for enterprises to move to platforms under their control (e.g. custom Android, linux, even custom hardware etc.) Most probably that would be through a market that builds most of that for them, with sufficient guarantees/standards.
- walterbell 11y agoThat would be nice, but is there a hardware supply chain that can support enterprises? Dell & HP seem to have given up on making money from endpoints. OEMs like Quanta and Foxconn would need middlemen to support customers. Secure OS software like Qubes struggles to find OEMs who care about integration.

- danlindley 11y agoThe article refers to Apple's taking a more "extreme" stance on privacy and it being at a disadvantage for doing so. While I appreciate the article is about data in AI, they neglect to even entertain the idea that privacy may be more important in the long term than obtaining some added benefit by using the personal information entrusted to them.
