Isn't it a bit hypocrite that mr. Balkan's Hearbeat project is specifically designed for Apple IOS, which is a major corporation? see: https://forum.ind.ie/t/we-re-building-for-os-x-and-ios-not-l...
Anyway, lately Apple is the big institutional champion for end-to-end encryption, so they might be on the "allowable sponsors" list for a privacy conference.
Aral isn't against making money - I'm not sure why anyone would think he was - he's in favour of privacy.
Apple have actually done a pretty good job in stopping governments who want to forbid privacy.
A majority of privacyscholars participate in CPDP, due to the lack of a better platform.
Bit hypocrite no?
People seem to like Apple a lot...
Yeah, they advertise some kind of privacy protection as a product feature, and you can debate whether or not those advertising claims have merit, but it's a long way off from the CPDP conflict of interest that Aral describes.
