I imagine you are right that consumers don't care or know enough to put pressure on manufacturers, but what about big companies like the FANGs? Or Government agencies like NSA etc? What are they doing about it? I imagine intelligence agencies are well aware of the issue and have or are trying to get solutions to protect their own infra.
- codetrotter 5y agoOff topic but shouldn’t FAANG really be referred to as MAAAN now? Google -> Alphabet Facebook -> Meta Meta, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Netflix. MAAAN.
- somethingwitty1 5y agoGoogle still exists. Facebook still exists. Meta/Alphabet are mainly holding companies. For example, I received reach outs from recruiters for Google and Facebook today. Not from Meta and Alphabet. Maybe once Meta and Alphabet deliver on things and build brand recognition, it should change. Until then, I'd vote "no".

- salawat 5y agoNow I can add "I have never worked for the MAAAN" with pride on my business cards! Every now and again I worry I've grown up. Then I realize there is no grown up, just a Matroyshka doll of more and more eclectic subtexts
