CTinline-six · 12-08-2017, 11:47 AM

Microsoft
Apple
Google

Anything that requires location services for an app
Anything that tracks what you purchase online
Anything that requires a phone number for an online/store account
Anything that requires an e-mail address for an online/store account

Crimson92 · 12-08-2017, 11:50 AM

Curious as to why you guys say Microsoft .

All telecoms and internet providers.

Non tech - banks and health insurance companies...

None of the above have your best interest in mind.

Re: Micro$oft. Have you tried to register some program you bought from them in the last couple of months/year? I have a god-damned product card, with a key. I have to log in with an authenticated account, enter that product "entitlement" key, jump thru some more hoops, THNE I can click on a link to display my real product key that will actually get eh software working.

Further, if I am doing this at work, and want more than ~30 software applications authenticated, I have to make up a NEW authenticated account to enter those entitlement keys to get to my key.

That shouldn't be a trust issue more of an end user experience issue.

I could explain the reasoning why they do that but that wouldn't solve the frustrating process.

They don't trust me with a key card, I don't trust them with my email address.

App's(phone applications)that track location probably sell/share your free info.

Lups · 12-08-2017, 02:03 PM

I actually only like msft since their tricks are the same always.

Hmm makes you wonder who has our best interest as many companies pretend to.....but reality is most act in the nature of the corporations best interests which are non-transparent in many ways.

Yeah the forced hoop jumping is always a dead giveaway on who not to trust......they just want too much free info.....we the consumer should charge user fees for any extra data that is not absolutely necessary to give for these products.

I you're really worried use TAILS and encrypted email for really sensitive things.
