From my position, the mobile app shenanigans look like little more than intracompany politics. Where Facebook is not getting data, Apple or Google are still happily collecting.
Overall, I would guess that there is no track record of trust because expectations remain unclear. Concepts of privacy, data usage, and such didn't exist before Facebook and others. I suppose I am not eager to assume malintent outside what is standard for any business operating for the sake of profit.
- amelius 5y agoWe should take away the incentive for these companies to abuse our data.
- pmoriarty 5y ago"Concepts of privacy, data usage, and such didn't exist before Facebook and others." They did exist before Facebook. But not before "others", which include every company and person who ever existed. Not sure why you added "and others" to that sentence.
- aierou 5y agoSorry, yes, that is poorly worded on my part. I meant to say that there is a class of privacy discussion that essentially did not exist prior to the widespread adoption of social media.
