What's the brand damage from the resultant public shaming of e.g. Google Nest Guard' 'hidden' microphone?
- meowface 7y agoThat's different. While still very bad, one is omission, and one is full-on deceit.
- amelius 7y agoHow meaningful is brand damage when a company has a quasi monopoly in multiple markets?
- mises 7y agoNest Guard is a monopoly? Or were you referring to something else? I also think a lot of this is completely non-essential (e.g. Nest Guard). I do not have any such "smart devices" at home, and encourage others to do the same. They provide, in my opinion, very little benefit for a great sacrifice. And all that aside, they're just too dang expensive. I don't see the point of spending $600 on a machine-learning toaster.
- macintux 7y agoI don't think we know yet.
- int_19h 7y agoI think we're still finding that out. Have you noticed the attitude towards large tech companies among the general public lately, especially those whose business models are entangled with privacy issues?
