Google's screen for privacy settings does give you more options for what you share than Apple's does. But it's not a complete list, and people aren't aware of whether or not that information will go to a third party.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't actually believe there's any such thing as privacy.
I respect someone's right to privacy and I want them to know it.
Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in any information that I share with a company? My Google searches? The emails I send? Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in anything but maybe a letter I hand deliver to my wife?
Whether it's Facebook or Google or the other companies, that basic principle that users should be able to see and control information about them that they themselves have revealed to the companies is not baked into how the companies work. But it's bigger than privacy. Privacy is about what you're willing to reveal about yourself.
Apple and Google want to create encryption for which they could not provide you the key. Their business model will not survive if the American government has a special relationship with them that requires them to surrender this kind of information.
Apps, email, and social are the three things Google does not control.
Only my phone number and email are private because I don't want random people calling me. But I like the ability to share everything.
Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to, it's an absolute prerequisite.
I think privacy is valuable. You don't have to share everything, and it's healthy to occasionally hit the pause button and ask yourself if you're oversharing. But at the end of the day, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to hide.
Privacy is not an option, and it shouldn't be the price we accept for just getting on the Internet.
