Facebook has been much more flippant with privacy policies and their use of data than Google has ever been. I only see unfavorable comparisons of google to facebook on HN and it really baffles me. It couldn't be farther from the truth.
- Aloha 13y agoGoogle is still outrunning their 'don't be evil' motto from years ago - and the relationship between Google and my data is murkier, or 'feels' so, because Google just started out with search, then added all this other 'stuff' and the associated privacy difficulties thereof. With Facebook, from day one, I knew what my relationship with them was, I knew they were out to make a buck with my data, and I needed to be careful what I let loose into their platform. With Apple, the relationship is even clearer, I buy things from them, they sell me a device, and some minimal services with it, for a fixed price, and the relationship doesnt generally change over the term of me owning that device.
