If I was giving them the benefit of the doubt I would say they are trying to avoid losing face.
- tmpX7dMeXU 3y agoThat’s not how you save face. Genuinely, if nobody said anything about this anymore, basically everyone would forget about it. The privacy nerds that would remember this 6 months from now would be utterly politically immaterially few
