They have already shown that they are willing to violate people's privacy. That is useful information.
This isn't personal, I just find it increasingly odd when people in online discussions gripe about company not doing x, is then shown clear examples of x and coping back with "that's what they want you to believe" or when asking for an example, is given one and backpedal saying "that doesn't meet these new criteria that weren't up for discussion from the start"
It boggles my mind.
If you won't offer concessions when evidence comes straight from the source what evidence will you?
I'm not saying that they violate your privacy, I'm only saying that we don't know what they do with your data, thus we don't know if they protect your privacy or not.
My complaint is easily solvable: Allow me to set up and use a phone/laptop in such a way that they can't violate my privacy.
