> But this doesnt sound "radical" at all. It really is radical to the current culture of silicon valley where every product must be "smart," collect user data to provide recommendations and "analytics." There is little restraint done by companies on what data they collect, only on access to that data once collected. It really is a radical culture shift for these companies, and all the engineers that work for them, to switch to a attitude of only collecting what is truly necessary.
