Companies seem to follow a standard rulebook for these things. Do something flagrantly invasive and outrageous, wait for the inevitable backlash and then back down on a few of the minor points which is also great opportunity for PR to say how much they care about your privacy, and when the dust settles, they've gained a little more ground against user control of their device.
- switch007 6y agoIt's the exact same rulebook of politicians. It's so obvious I don't know how they get away with it, but they have done for a very, very long time!
- inetknght 6y agoPoliticians cloak it in the idea of "compromise". Ask for more than what you want and then negotiate to some middle ground. Playing that game isn't a good faith negotiation.
- squarefoot 6y ago"Ask for more than what you want and then negotiate to some middle ground." Very common practice in politics which serves both sides (assuming the most common 2 main parties context) as both of them can tell voters they accomplished part of their goal after hard fighting.
- Silhouette 6y agoPlaying that game isn't a good faith negotiation. What you described is how almost all negotiation is done, in good faith or otherwise. But it's only a negotiation if both parties can propose changes and, if they don't like the deal, walk away.
