Companies like Facebook with their demanding WhatsApp users provide access to private data, and now Dropbox demanding access to private data is highlighting an interesting phenomenon: These companies feel entitled to our private data and now are becoming hostile when they don't get it. I sincerely hope that the broader community outside of Hacker News pushes back severely on this behavior or else it will only get worse. Edit to add: These companies have such a feeling of entitlement to our data that their next move will be to try to convince legislatures to force us to give them access to it. Mark my words.
