The policy is the simplest and lightest level of assurance I was expecting. It's basically PR. I'm more interested in cases where they've been tested put their money where their mouth is, or even if they are willing to note that they get legal requests, what is generally requested, how they comply, etc.
- smt88 8y agoMost of these companies aren't ever "tested". It's pure luck that we ever find out they're violating our privacy. There's no transparency in a cloud app.
- kbenson 8y agoI don't mean tested as in some organization tests them, I mean is there information showing or alluding to a company fighting back for their users (or business model) against government overreach? If there is, that's useful information. It doesn't mean a company that hasn't been in that situation wouldn't act the same, but we can't assert much about that with any level of confidence. It's not like any of these indicators can be taken entirely on face value anyway, since their all indicators of past performance and a change in policy at a company could happen any time. Something is better than nothing though.
