- yawaworht1978 5y agoOff course,everyone who's ever been in a large corporation will know these things aren't just soft launched. There have been prior reviews with the authorities, lawyers, the drafters of the terms and conditions and every possible strategic deployment was a-b-c etc tested. This is nothing but corporate double speech and damage reduction. I wonder, though, why the back tracking on the messaging happened. Reputation damage or fear it might affect the bottom line. With this act, they kind of make anyone guilty unless proven otherwise by scraping their data. Apple was the last man standing regarding telemetry handling, bit better than others. Now, I am not so sure
