This can't possibly be true. Why do you think Apple is so popular among tech circles? It's not because everyone collectively decides to read their privacy policies. Apple has to actively advertise they don't collect data. The

By consumers do you mean the loud but very small minority that defend Apple in comment sections of online articles? Because if you ask me, my guess is that the average Apple consumer couldn't care less if the platform is opened up or n

I get a feeling you commented after reading the headline and didn't read the article. This is a positive story and I'm glad the person was given the opportunity to chase her dreams.

Robinhood made a decision that cost its users from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, perhaps more. If there's ever been a more justified reason to give an app a 1-star rating, it's this. Google was out of line.

How is it a net downside? The entire purpose of the App Store being locked down is that it's reliable. There is no way any HR department will launch an investigation because you downloaded an app called Amphetamine. Worst case scenario

As far as the ethics of AI goes, would "don't be evil" slogan be better than "do the right thing"? I'm sure people may interpret things differently but doing the right thing would mean Google making AI that ha

It's unfair to say we still use credit because we are complacent. If you stop caring about building a credit score, you will end up paying more money in things like mortgages or car loans. There is a financial incentive to use credit c

Disclosure that I work @ FB. Mark's point was that the post did not break the policies the platform has and he explained in thorough detail why he believed this was the case. The Floyd video was an example of how one policy can be used

If true then we should start with legislation to disallow platforms from mandating competitor's pricing if they also sell products in their own platform. It seems like a good starting solution without having to go for the nuclear optio

That's how the industry has always worked. Walmart, Costco, supermarkets, clothing stores, pharmacies, etc, all have their own brand of products that they sell on their own stores along with other brands that use their competitor'

Do they have a choice if they want to operate in America? The article specifically calls out Palantir for giving ICE information, but all the big tech companies are part of government surveillance programs. At this point we're just shi

This seems like an alarmist article. Don't let big tech expand their reach and power. How is big tech expanding their reach? They never dived into specifics of what big tech is doing the they disagree with. People already willingly giv

There's a reason I like Mark Cuban. I'm glad he spoke against this insanity. For a billionaire, he's always taken great care of his players.

FB is donating to WHO, is creating a fund to help small businesses, partnered with CNN to spread awareness and keep people safe, and the Chan-Zuckerberg foundation has been helping test people across the Bay Area. Can they not help their em

What you want is an egregious breach of privacy. Just because you have access to Alice's personal data does not mean it belongs to you. In fact, I'd argue that EU would not be happy if the data people downloaded included informati

You're being lenient. All of these websites either have crazy amount of trackers, actively engage in accusing others of what they're doing, or just write clickbait articles with little substance. You may not get ads but everything
