He never said "increase privacy, safety and security of consumers". You read that between the lines, but he never said it. As far as he's concerned, it is you that has a comprehension problem.
- artfulhippo 7y agoI quoted the transcript verbatim. Then restated the quote. But I didn’t use the word “increase”. I stand by my statement. If I’m wrong, please correct me without misrepresenting it.
- pacala 7y agoWithout "increase", Boz's statement can also be parsed as "how much privacy, safety and security we can tradeoff for the largest amount of money".
- artfulhippo 7y agoIf I understand you, you’re saying that Boz didn’t lie, he just said the truth in so subtle a way that other social predators pick up on it, but that seems nice to normal people. That’s a deception even worse than lying! Lie or not, this style of communication demands stricter sanctions.
- pacala 7y agoExactly. I suspect this type of communication helps dealing with cognitive dissonance.
