"which providers I trust:
* Software: Google, Microsoft"
I trust that Google and Microsoft won't hack into my bank account and steal money, even though they could, but otherwise I assume they collect anything they want and can.
- jl6 4y agoI assume they profile me, but I don't assume they steal my files.
- hutzlibu 4y agoThey (hopefully) won't steal your ip or personal pictures, but there is so much telemetry and other phoning home going on, and without transparency or the option to really turn it off.
- ghostpepper 4y agoSecurity and privacy are two separate things and not always aligned.
- alyandon 4y agoI caught Windows Defender "automatic sample submission" silently uploading places.sqlite out of my Firefox directory despite the assurance in the control panel that "We'll prompt you if the file we need is likely to contain personal information". So now I disable automatic sample submission via group policy but Microsoft definitely can and will access files that they really have no business accessing.
- rejectfinite 4y agoYes, but the topic is security, not privacy.
