TL;DR: Jobs argues for permission dialog fatigue as a solution to privacy, audience applauds.
- axiosgunnar 5y agoFunny, I thought this was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but it‘s literally what happens in the video.
- xucheng 5y agoThis is a rather sinister interpretation. I think what Jobs means is that privacy is about asking for consent repeatedly. Whenever there is a new way to use user’s data, a permission should be requested.
- pengaru 5y agoPessimistic or uncharitable, sure, but sinister? That doesn't even really make sense.
- Voyvode 5y agoBy today’s standards, apparently yes. Dialog fatigue (and dark patterns exploiting it) is an issue. But thinking the other way: If we are constantly asked for privacy-related permission, then it’s probably because something is seriously wrong today. Dialog fatigue is a symptom. Indiscriminate data hunger is the disease.
- graftak 5y ago> make them tell you to stop asking This is where it always takes goes wrong, hence the fatigue part.
