What are you trying to argue for? That we should all just throw up our hands and give up trying to protect our privacy? What course of action should be taken to improve things?
I’m arguing that the price for our technological advancement is the loss of privacy. It’s unavoidable. If one is not willing to bear such a price then they should completely unplug from technology and go live out in the woods away from civilization. Because just interacting with someone who is plugged in is a privacy risk.
All I hope is that the megacorp that I trust doesn’t go and sell off all my personal data to some nefarious people. What other course of action would you recommend to improve our privacy?
You cannot blindly trust in the continuing good intentions of executives who have as much power as Tim Cook does.
Meta and Alphabet are already committed to profiting from users' private information. Apple is not, at least not yet.
I'd be happy to have laws that enforce (at a minimum) the natural implications of the good behavior that Apple has claimed in marketing for years. But this would destroy Google and Facebook.
