So what do you suggest? That no journalist can cover these issues if their employer doesn't meet some minimum level of privacy respecting behavior? You could say it's hypocrisy, but on whose part I'm not sure. Surely not the author. Is it on Forbes' part for not blocking publication? Just not sure the point in alleging that the publication (or investigation?) somehow took a lot of guts or whatever. Forbes isn't installing tracking software on every site you visit. They're monetizing to the nth degree visitors to the own site. And if we want to do what-about-isms I just don't know how we have a conversation without starting at FB and Google. Maybe I'm paranoid, but your comment strikes me as exactly the kind of thing I'd write if I was Xiaomi. Also I just don't think it helps the cause of privacy to discourage these kinds of investigations by any publication, regardless of their own track record.
