I don't find his arguments convincing at all. The appearance of supporting privacy is not mutually exclusive with invasive behaviour internally, and records - even if supposedly kept private - is still potentially vulnerable to being hacked/leaked. The problem is they collect data to sell as this is literally their business, while true privacy is only achieved when personal data is not collected.

Um

The appearance of supporting privacy may not be mutually exclusive with openly invasive behavior, but actually supporting privacy is. I don't see the point you're trying to make but it seems as though your stance is that it's OK for X to appear to support privacy while actually invading it??

"True privacy" isn't the concern here. Data breaches and hacks are a security issue, this is an ethical one.
