I'm glad that someone sees demand for privacy. I wish Mozilla would brand itself the same way; with their non-profit, public good mission, few could compete with them for user trust. That's how they can compete with FirefoxOS, Firefox for Android, and other products, IMHO -- it would be hard for Google and Apple to convince the public that privacy is their priority after all these years.
Based on my limited knowledge, more and more consumers are looking for privacy options. If and when demand for privacy takes off, Mozilla and Yahoo would be in good shape if they were already established in user's minds as the 'trustworthy' vendors.
- x0x0 11y agoWhat is your beef with Apple about privacy?
- dijit 11y agoit's very popular to hate apple for privacy. it seems odd that the same people flock to google for privacy when google's entire business model rests on selling or farming it's users data in various ways. (where-as apples is selling products which you pay for) I've said before that Apple has a business model that is capable of being privacy conscious- so I'm more willing to trust them than google. it just seems like some very well placed propaganda.
- bad_user 11y agoFor some reason every time somebody criticizes Google, somebody ends up making the argument that Apple is worse and vice-versa. I don't really get it. Is it because you feel the need to root for your favorite or something? Either way, it's a fallacy that brings nothing to the discussion.
- cbsmith 11y agoIf it were a fallacy, that'd mean it wasn't true. It's more propaganda than fallacy, but I'd agree it is questionable what it brings to the discussion.
