I love a good play on words. Good shower thought.
I had a pop-up site demand I turn off my VPN today. The audacity.
What did it say? What site?
They love their double speak.
We and our 871 partners value your privacy. Just saw that on some online shop yesterday.
I see this all the time. How can there be privacy when my phone is a peep show?
Companies value your privacy in the same way weird people value virginity.
Funny enough it almost never means they care.
Oh they do care. Just not in a way you’d appreciate.
It literally only exists as a legal liability defense mechanism.
It is legalese.
‘Value’ as a verb could mean in nearly any concievable context or form.
It just means ‘is important to us in some unspecified way’… and then the actual specifics are in the ToS you probably don’t read.
Pretty sure there is no law anyone has to use the wording “we value your privacy”. It’s more likely to be just something they put there to make more people consent to data processing.
The fact that Meta has a C-suite position that’s called Chief Privacy Officer is my favorite absurdly ironic fact.
I can’t imagine how can anyone apply to that with a strait face and clear conscience, but that’s prpbably true for most positions at Meta, aside from like Beat Games and the like.
You misunderstand the position. Their job is finding new and exciting ways to violate user privacy.
In reality it means jack shit, it’s corporatespeak at its most vapid
