I’m curious. Why isn’t Microsoft forced to present a similar screen for browsers?

Although the decision sounds so simple the underlying principle cannot be accepted. Privacy is an inalienable human right, just like being a free person. We, as a modern society, decided that some things are illegal regardless of my much bo

I know you’re not the person to ask about this. Just asking out of curiosity and frustration: Why do advertisers think that they are entitled to everything about my life, family, habits, and other private information? Being able to collect

Although I agree with the sentiment, I also would like to point of that newspapers existed before the internet and we had to pay for them despite having ads on them. I don’t know how but at some point as a society we decided that we must ti

I agree. No company can be trusted with such a great amount of user data. Our phones are with us 24/7 and some companies want to not only listen and track but also change our behavioral patterns to suit them. The store analogy doesn’t

Unless the lying is systemic. Someone making a mistake in their coverage map would be okay, but if they are systemically adding false locations for any incentive money and hoping that they won’t be found out, then it should not just scratch

Yes. That’s it. That’s anti-competitive. That’s where the consumer benefit was curtailed and competition was limited. People usually talk about companies who cannot compete with Apple on fair grounds and then claim foul. Which sounds like t

Some of today’s big corporations and mega hedge funds are almost bigger than the good old British Empire. Are we definitely sure that they will not just use that power for their own good only.

I think we should lead with the fact that cell phones became the new personal computing device and they should be turn into open platforms, like computers. But the same thing should apply to gaming consoles, TVs, and other software heavy pl

Serious question. Why is it though, despite forming over 40% of the smart phone market in the US, Android users only spends 5% of the money? It can’t simply be about control, otherwise Nokia or BlackBerry should’ve accomplished that in thei

Okay. But what happened to the Windows Phone and its integration with the Windows OS? It simply failed. There is a valid argument to be made here against Apple and how their firm grip is stopping a market from advancing further. But not by

Agreed. And that’s something I very much enjoy. My general worry is that the entire discussion is shifting “from what’s good for the customer to this other company cannot do something shady because you protect the customer”. Does Apple enjo

Apple having access to everything related to end user, every step they can take regarding privacy can be deemed as anti-competitive. Here’s another example: Facebook knows exactly the 100 people they show my ads but not giving me their full

Thanks. So there’s a different set of market behavior the US market and customers are not used to.

Maybe a stupid question. Why isn’t there any gatekeeper from the EU region? They are quite industrialized and have a strong economy.

Hmm. “Let me turn on this lead water pipeline which may or may not poison an entire town and then blame faul when it does.” I don’t think failing to take adequate precautions is preventing AI tools from being used. I think this was plain co
