Two wrongs don't make a right. Your point may be valid that Snapchat deserves the same or even more criticism, but then perhaps the fact that they don't is the real problem.
- godelski 7y agoMore importantly we have legislation and public support that has been pushing companies like Snapchat to change. Such as they say they delete photos now. As an American I think I have some influence in Europe, but at minimum I think Europe has similar values to me. With their democratic processes I believe things can change and will, same with America. Look how GDPR changed things. Conversely in Russia and China they are authoritarian and the cultures don't tend to speak out as much about these things. Hence where they are at. FaceApp might just use my data for advertising, but I don't know that. It's harder to find out post hoc. There is no legal means for me to ensure things are done properly. There is no way for me to push for data to be used in better ways. There is no accountability. And that's the big difference. Accountability.
