A few days back I watched a SomeOrdinaryGamers video, in which he states to drive a Tesla car, despite expressing the obvious privacy concerns surrounding the built-in camera system; but doesn’t seem to consider the privacy-impact to those around the vehicle, he chooses to drive through public streets. And another example being Rob Braxman, while ironically, both known to frequently criticize other public-facing, internet connected surveillance systems (like Ring for example).
If it was “just” a cabin camera, staring you straight in the face every time you drive your car (and you’re somehow okay with that), it would still be a terrible look in context with your channel content, but at least it is contained to you personally. But knowingly driving these surveillance nightmares on wheels through public streets, subjecting others to that surveillance, while you represent pro-privacy channels online, is just inexcusably hypocritical to me. But perhaps it might just be me, so what are your thoughts?
That seems reasonable. Linux computers are only secure with a skilled user, the average user likely has their privacy better protected by iOS which while slightly weaker on privacy is much more locked down on security.
i don’t think that matters that much when you are forced to accept their privacy policy to use the app anyway, which is much less of a thing on linux computers than on phone oses. i don’t really see how you’d need to be skilled to take advantage of it.
