- tunap 10y agoThey have. Repeatedly. And for whatever reasons most are unaware of, they appear to be getting away with their actions more or less. Why? I don't know, ask a lawmaker. Or better yet, ask a lobbyist. Even better, ask the DHS PAC: Edit: US example, I have no idea how France government works. http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2011/11/30/bfp-report-meet-the-department-of-homeland-security%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98distinguished%E2%80%99-privacy-advisory-committee-members/ http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2011/11/30/bfp-report-meet-t...
- dijit 10y agoGoogle; no idea, but they're not in the desktop market or used as a business OS exclusively so that may be why. Apple; there's a toggle switch to turn off telemetry and it works. But it's also not a primary business operating system and doesn't hold the market capital the same way either. If the country was running on apple products for mail, appointment making, meetings, and all national work was done on apple OS, then it would be open to the same scrutiny. But even so, they've been good about keeping their nose out of your operating system.
