I'm not privy to Apple's thinking, and I doubt that anyone else on this list is, either. So we can only speculate. My own speculation is that it's overdetermined, as most things are. There's a need to put the focus on the big bad Fibbies in order to distract from their own mis-, mal-, or non-feasance -- take your pick. Then too it's not a bad marketing gimmick to pose as the paladins of privacy, which of course they never have been. In general, I suspect it's a serious mistake to imagine that any large corporation has a substantive interest in the privacy of its customers. Perhaps the Swiss banks are the exception that proves the rule -- because their important customers are among the elite? _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
