Also, the rest of us use products they’ve designed to be basically unsecurable against them. The feudal model of security only works if the overlords are trustworthy and competent. We’ve known they aren’t trustworthy for a long time, but this shows the other side of the coin.
- joe_the_user 6y agoPlus the feudal model only works if there's a definite hierarchy. The "everyone gets to get in everyone else's business" model clearly is a disaster. This disaster.

- OliverGilan 6y agoI've never heard of the feudal model with security. Can you explain?
- gbrown 6y agoThe idea is that security is hard and expensive, so we serfs surrender ourselves to feudal overlords (Google, Microsoft, Facebook) in exchange for protection.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoThis model has been bitterly fought since the beginning. Problem is the underdogs have never had the money, and governmental support to manufacture consent in the masses.
- ASalazarMX 6y agoWhat are the alternatives? Surely we can't design our own systems from scratch and outdo FAANGs in terms of security, and any underdog trying to change the status quo will end becoming a feudal lord itself.
