It’s not trusting Big Tech, it’s understanding that Little Tech can also lie.
Cox Media Group wants to hype up their product and use AI buzzwords. To be seen as reliable they say that they work with Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.
The report is basically CMG saying they can do X, and everyone else calling bullshit. (And in response CMG clarifying “No, we don’t actually do that” and then also removing the companies they don’t actually work with.)
It isn’t definitively saying they don’t, but also isn’t saying that they do. You can assume the worst if you like, but that doesn’t mean the worst is actually true.
Is it possible this type of spying exists? Yes. Is it possible this is a cover up? Yes. Do we have actual data to support that? No.
Tomorrow an investigation may reveal otherwise, but for now it doesn’t seem to be the case.
And because some random report from a third-party who is just as interested in profit said something that matches the worldview of the general masses is out, you’re going to believe them?
I don’t care what “tech” it is, they are incentivized to lie and you know it. I am still baffled at how absolutely anyone takes the word of corporations to heart
Yes? I’m forming my opinions based on reporting. You’re basing your opinions based on opinions.
Again I’m not saying you’re wrong. Look at the information Snowden revealed. Before the reveal it was conspiracy theory. Now it’s fact.
This reporting isn’t fact, it’s reporting in progress. At the moment it doesn’t find the always listening allegation to be true, but not impossible either.
