Why do you close the bathroom stall door in public?
You're not doing anything wrong. Everyone knows what you're doing. You have no secrets to hide.
Yet you value your privacy anyway. Why?
Also - I have no problem using Anthropic's cloud-hosted services. Being opposed to some cloud providers doesn't mean I'm opposed to all cloud providers.
People with your concerns probably make up 1% of the market if that. Also I don’t upload stuff I’m worried about Google seeing. I wonder if they will allows special plans for corporations
I’m very curious where you get that number from, because I thought the same thing until I got a job inside that market and realized how much more vast it actually is. The revenue numbers might not be as big as Big Tech, but the product market is shockingly vast. My advice is not to confuse Big Tech revenues for total market size, because they bring in such revenue by catering to everyone, rather than specific segments or niches; a McDonald’s will always do more volume than a steakhouse, but it doesn’t mean the market for steakhouses is small enough to ignore.
As for this throwaway line:
> Also I don’t upload stuff I’m worried about Google seeing.
You do realize that these companies harvest even private data, right? Like, even in places you think you own, or that you pay for, they’re mining for revenue opportunities and using you as the product even when you’re a customer, right?
> I wonder if they will allows special plans for corporations
They do, but no matter how much redlining Legal does to protect IP interests, the consensus I keep hearing is “don’t put private or sensitive corporate data into third-parties because no legal agreement will sufficiently protect us from harm if they steal our IP or data”. Just look at the glut of lawsuits against Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc from smaller companies that trusted them to act in good faith but got burned for evidence that you cannot trust these entities.
Special since Trump, which non-US company should trust and invest know-how to an us company. And then are also governments. Also special since Trump, is way to risky to send any data to an us company.
Do people think they are clever and can have defacto open borders? Maybe stop the goon squads and enforce at the employer level though it would probably work too well…
Most of these people have SSNs and work permits. We let them in and let them work legally and now have suddenly changed our collective mind and are violently letting them know. It's absurd.
Actually there are at least ten million with no legal standing in the country at all. Did you actually just claim everyone in the country is here legally?
The poster did not say everyone in the country is here, you're putting words in their mouth. Presumably in bad faith.
Even non-citizens are entitled to due process and the 4th amendment. ICE is violating that left and right, citizens and legal residents included. Fuck ICE.
The entire point of the article is to compare Europe to the USA. Even the illustration at the top makes that point immediately obvious and unambiguous.
