- friendlybus 7y agoSteve Jobs said in an inteview that Apple did pretty well on the privacy thing. He wanted to ask the user for permission to access private data, others wanted to take it all without asking. That gives me enough information to guess there's people who would make apps that take the private data without asking, whether the option to turn off privacy feature blocks them all or not is the question.
- beatgammit 7y agoSure, and nobody who cares about privacy would own an always on smart home device from Amazon or Google. But you don't always know if one of those devices is listening, such a when going to a friend's house.
- rapind 7y agoMaybe you do care but your significant other or roommate doesn't (and doesn't want to understand because... inconvenient). Thank Google / Amazon for creating drama where none existed.
- Silhouette 7y agoMaybe you do care but your significant other or roommate doesn't (and doesn't want to understand because... inconvenient). This is possibly the biggest single problem with modern surveillance/privacy culture. The idea of requiring an individual's consent to something that is potentially a risk for them is laudable, but it's also largely a symbolic gesture when some of the largest and most powerful organisations in the world are duping all of their friends into providing much the same information without their consent or even necessarily their knowledge anyway. The whole business model is fundamentally flawed, and privacy laws are a long way from catching up.
