TechCrunch is one to talk. Their writing might be more knowledgeable but is still characterized by magical thinking on tech when it comes to Big Names and Buzzwords.
The WaPo editorial board has taken a stance which large businesses that specialize in high tech products have already publicly opposed. In this particular disagreement, the technologists' position supports that of Valley firms, so TC can namecheck Diffie, Rivest and Schneier to argue their case.
Wake me up when TechCrunch starts echoing Schneier about the surveillance economy fueling the internet.
- doctorshady 11y agoI'm trying to think of a good, sarcastic comment about privacy being too inconvenient on the internet, but quite honestly, they all sound too much like things I've heard people here say. At the end of the day, unfortunately, commerce seems to be the prevailing decision maker. Sometimes I feel like it'd be great to see the money driven out of tech for that reason.
