When you are a large entity, you have a lot of responsibilities to ensure that your users are safe even when they don’t use a service in its intended fashion.

When you are a large entity, you have a lot of responsibilities to ensure that your users are safe even when they don’t use a service in its intended fashion.
This is fundamental to secure design and it’s also why it’s important for teams to have a both diverse skill set and diverse background to really think out how these features may be used.
- daft_pink 3y agoHow can a beacon service that can detect whether other iPhones in your general area are in your contacts be totally private secure and totally anonymous and to anyone let alone the local government's intelligence service? Have you ever used airdrop? I don't understand why anyone would expect a high degree of privacy from this application. I think it demonstrates how when you are a large enough entity you get totally blamed for everything no matter what. Make it totally anonymous to send to everyone and you get blamed for creepers sending anonymous dick pics. Don't make it anonymous and you get blamed for the government spying on users en masse because they can track you within bluetooth radius.
