Steve Jobs in 2010:
"Privacy means people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English, and repeatedly. That’s what it means. I’m an optimist, I believe people are smart. And some people want to share more data than other people do. Ask them. Ask them every time. Make them tell you to stop asking them if they get tired of your asking them. Let them know precisely what you’re going to do with their data. That’s what we think."
Interesting to see the "oh you must be confused" framing pop up everywhere. It's rampant as a defense of this in online discussions, Apple's defense, and Jon Gruber's take. Is there a name for this strategy?
