Fuck Apple. The only thing they are programmed to care about is the bottom line and getting more users. That programming is complicated and unlikely to change to suit the consumer's needs, or desires.
- liquidise 10y agoYou say that despite this privacy push being a direct response to consumer sentiments. Apple knows well that as tech becomes wearables and the Internet of things, privacy concerns skyrocket. My grandparents won't buy things online. Soon my generation will be those old and anxious curmudgeons unless our concerns are eased. Do they care about their bottom line? Of course. It's for that very reason they are investing the time now to secure the trust of generations of consumers.
- gear54rus 10y agoThis 'push' is just another unprovable unverifiable marketing bs that is just enough for the type of audience they attract until it's all opened to FS licenses and hardware is made to accept any software that user wants it to (like it should if you bought it).
- kordless 10y agoAgreed. Apple is only doing as much security as they reasonably needed to satisfy customers. Most customers don't understand the various types of suffering (and suffering risk I might add) caused by software, but large companies do. Large companies end up "making decisions" for users en masse. This is fine for button placement but falls apart logically when presented in a discussion based on trusted infrastruture. You will note that liquidse's response is conflicted. Those rationalizations are the indicators of dissonance in the privacy debate.
