I wonder what the upside to appointing an outspoken, top-tier NSA advocate and cheerleader for warrantless wiretapping of US citizens to Dropbox's board could be. Seriously, I would love to hear some theories, because I can scarcely imagine a more idiotic (and, as TFA mentions, tone-deaf) move.
Dropbox is likely to hemorrhage their tech-savvy users -- the ones who not only drove adoption at first, but still drive adoption -- and I can only imagine Google Drive, BT Sync, and Box are only too happy to receive us. Is the Valley/B-people bubble really that thick that no one thought this was less than a solid idea?
- serf 13y agoYeah, i'm no longer a customer of theirs due to this decision. I can't think of a worse cadre of people than the Bush administration to involve in my own personal matters of privacy. While I would never hope for the dissolution of a company just because I dislike their tactics, I do hope that this decision they made affects their bottom line enough to let them notice it as a mistake.
