Just a slight positive spin on this. I mean, I get it. Just like all of you I read this headline and say, no shit.

But its good these articles are out there. Its not for you and me. It's for the average person who doesn't think about this and is blissfully unaware.

Yeah, I can argue they should care and all that, but that's pointless. This is a sign that the average person is becoming more aware, and the status quo can change.

We all have those friends and family that we wish would...just do things differently. Maybe they will now, or soon.

Just think, wouldn't it be great if your "arguments" with your family are over messaging each other over SimpleX instead of Signal?

Yep, totally agree - it's just getting awareness up.

When I start explaining this to friends & family they give me the same blank look that I gave them when they talk about nutrition & exercise...

Came here to say "No shit, what else is new" but you're absolutely right, this is for people who don't follow tech news.

I feel like Google would tell you the same thing if asked.

Google prioritizing profits over the privacy of its users? Colour be shocked.

Seriously thought, is there anything at all that they prioritize over the privacy of its users at this point?

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Maybe if they reframe the headline: "Shock: One of the worlds richest companies chooses to make money rather than respec... Oh nevermind i see it now"

[-] Slax@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago
