Privacy is also terrible in cloud desktops (and cloud apps) but many (most?) developers do not see it as a concern. It's too late to push for privacy in cloud software - especially when it's developers who are the strongest advocates for user-tracking in cloud desktops.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoReally depends on the environment. Almost all developers I know are pretty big on privacy and critical of the negative implications of users sharing too much. If you work at Google or Facebook they will plant different ideas into your brain. IT security might be slow, but they also found out that it isn't the users that pay them, it is management. Some concerns have validity, but there is also a lot of crap sold as security.

If you work at Google or Facebook they will plant different ideas into your brain. I wish I could share a similar sentiment. But my impression is that privacy is low down the priority of many developers. Even this thread has 300+ comments and yet has not one single comment raising the privacy implications a cloud OS/desktop.
