Only way to stop this is to make it so they make no money from doing it and also make it really uncomfortable for their execs. If they feel the blow back personally they will stop doing it.
I have a low tolerance for bs like this. I usually articulate why its bs to my manager to give them a chance to fix it and if they are unwilling to i get a new job. No point in staying to deal with that kind of bs, life is short.
I always give the same feedback for this type of bs. Actions speak louder than words. If you have to tell people how great a company's culture is it clearly isn't.
I am happy to hopefully see the decline of amp. Remeber this is not all happening in a vacuum. Remeber google has been pushing to do things like remove the url bar from browsers too. It is pretty obvious what the end game is.
This type of crap is why I stopped using windows and macos. I don't want my security to be compromised because of some idiot in a suit making a bad call.
I disabled all telemetry in Windows and use Glasswire to check what's up, but planning to add RPI with some extra traffic monitoring. Frankly this is untenable. Users shouldn't have to go to such lengths to protect their privacy. Apple and Microsoft need to be held accountable and ordered to delete all personal data harvested to which they cannot provide legitimate reason to have it.
True, but that line of thinking assumes they will harden those things in favor of the customer/user.
The article suggests that Apple may be exempting its own apps from user-defined network traffic protection measures in order to clamp down on geographical licensing loopholes, or to keep its app traffic out of VPN servers. Either case would be to the benefit of Apple and the detriment of the customer/user IMO.
Are billions of people better served with compromised security not because of some idiot in a suit, but because they installed Linux and don't know what exactly they're doing?
