Serious question, what was the big deal about hiring Condi Rice? I'm not saying I condone her political career, but is there some obvious link that would indicate that she's operating at Dropbox to the detriment of its users?
- leggomylibro 10y agoThere's no huge deal, I just see the way that companies fill key positions as signals of their intentions. I don't think that she's working with the CIA to spy on all of the company's users or anything, but I do think that her past actions show a history of complete disregard for individual privacy. So when the company hired her on their board to deal with issues of privacy, I read it as a signal that they are unwilling to meaningfully stand up for their users' privacy, and they're probably not adverse to quietly compromising it for a quick buck. I was already not hugely impressed by the service, so I just switched to a more secure cloud backup provider that costs about the same. I guess it was more the straw that broke the camel's back.
