Right, but what exactly can you measure when you're trying to implement an backup system when the company hasn't had an data loss event yet?

Yup and the worst is when people want "metrics" in order to do the thing that everyone would agree is a good idea

If I open a new general store in a neighborhood, and I want to reach all the local people online without wasting money on advertising to non-locals. There isn't a cheap way to do it without using some data. People don't often rese

I think an important consideration about the I've got nothing to hide camp is that they don't need absolute privacy. The argument about handing over passwords or writing letters on postcards falls flat because the person who'

I mean Google doesn't need to know every bike website you've been to, just that you've been to A bike website for them to know that you're into bikes. So even if some sites are pulling out their GA, some won't and t

Fining Google doesn't help the problem there, you would want to work with Google to find out who made the deceptive ad and deal with them so they can't continue on to hurt more people

I think he means that he doesn't care if Google and Facebook or even the government finds out his aunt sue's Apple pie recipe that she posted on his wall. If he was throwing an overthrow the government party, then he would put in

Whoever is orchestrating this hitjob against zoom, is doing a bad job of it. Most people are going to ignore articles like this. After a certain amount of stories, outrage fatigue sets in and people start to see it as a hit piece and dismis
