I sometimes think that "track record" is the main value of Google and Apple. They have been around for decades, and except in their own interest to collect data for themselves, I am not aware of any blatant privacy violations of these companies. And one can hope that in their own interest, they keep it that way. That's not great, but it's better than the other companies.
I don't see how any company can compete with this unless they somehow figure out how to make a vastly superior product.
- bapak 1y agoWhat's your definition of "collect data for themselves?" Because both do, albeit in substantially different amounts.
- ArtTimeInvestor 1y agoCan you elaborate on those "substantially different amounts"?
- dgb23 1y agoWhat about PRISM? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM
- ArtTimeInvestor 1y agoDo Apple and Google have a choice to legally opt out of it?
- danparsonson 1y agoWhat difference does that make to the outcome? If anything, being automatically subject to that without any option is worse.
- Zak 1y agoYes, by incorporating end-to-end encryption in their services.
