If they changed it would be suicide. Their whole raison d'être is around privacy and no censorship.

- fortylove 8y agoI'm not so sure that'll still be true once they have a critical mass of users on there. Perhaps a lot of users will have been brought on through their network, instead of through their belief in the platform. Before you know it, perhaps most of their users won't care as much as the original set!
- dublo7 8y agoWhat we need is a law that forces companies to get specific permission before seeing their data to any other specific entity. Terms of use change all the time. I'm hopeful the new generation of people growing up without privacy will learn to value it as they mature and control of their internet history is something they have to deal with. Make laws with teeth. Look at HIPAA for example. The penalties are severe and therefore compliance is strict.
- zwaps 8y agoNo. Google got big literally only because a huge f-ton of nerds saw them as a new, unique, good alternative to the big tech companies and pushed their services. Remember when working at Google was a dream that spawned several movies even? Then, Google just went and deleted "Don't be evil" from their manifesto. Literally they did that. That's like saying "Yo guys, we are evil now". And what happened? Nothing. They are fine.
