Big Tech implements and advocates a strange concept of "privacy" where the sender's data unnecessarily going through Big Tech and/or selected CDNs (collectively, third parties) instead of directly to the intended recipient does not violate privacy... and, according to the Silicon Valley spin, this somehow "increases" privacy. The concept of privacy from Big Tech and partner CDNs exists. But for these companies, generally computer users are not the customers. They are commercial surveillance and ad targets. It is purely a coincidence, no doubt, that these companies providing "privacy" services are in fact far the world's greatest threats to and violators (or potential violators) of computer user privacy. As always, it is assumed the computer user will be too naive to notice the absurdity of this arrangement. Google has already been caught fraudulently promoting "Incognito" as "private" and chose to settle with plaintiffs rather than prove they not misleading computer users. Why would anyone trust Google a second time. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24527110/google-unopposed-settlement.pdf https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24527110/google-unopp...
