>Does the public care about privacy?
Does the tech community care about privacy? Google tracks users on an industrial scale. Yet most people in the tech community shrug their shoulders and say 'so what?'. Or they rush to Google's defence. (Does a giant multi-billion dollar company need your defence?)
Google has a peculiar slant on privacy - they seems to think it's all about security and nothing else. You can't have privacy without security, but security by itself does not equal privacy. It's the equivalent of saying we'll track you to death (and save it to our servers), but you can rest assured that your personal information will never leak. The tech community happily accepts that as perfectly fine.
- emodendroket 8y agoYes, privacy is almost antithetical to the "free" tech business model.
