Perhaps a breach of privacy, but propaganda?
- Terretta 8y agoThe Tim Cook section is clearly spin, presumes the Congress critters can’t see through it. - My dog doesn’t bite but if it did, his dog bites too. - My dog bites, but you should complain about his dog. In this case, MZ dog bit you; TC dog asks first, defaults all off, and asks again every new thing. More spin, Apple got plenty bad press for e.g. Path, Uber, exploits or misuses, gave quick fixes then deeper global changes. Most importantly continues a clear theme of user data ownership, privacy and protection. This dog tries to not bite. False equivalency and misdirections are spin.
- staticautomatic 8y agoPropaganda is fundamentally about convincing people of things that, if believed, are beneficial to you-- regardless of whether they're true. Accordingly, this often includes "spin." - CA Section: It's someone else's fault. - Compensation: Misdirection, obviously false statements (e.g. "It couldn't happen now") - Scraping: Lies (e.g. "found out about [scraping] abuse 2 weeks ago") - Accountability: Act as if it's only about firing people. - Data safety: Not actually addressed. - Business model: Actual lies (e.g. "FB doesn't sell data")
- written 8y agoOh, I understood that posting the photo was propaganda, not the actual content of the notes. I guess the meaning of the parent post was ambiguous.
