Yeahhhh, but Amazon makes a ton off their own ad business and is trying to turn everyone's personal devices into a mesh network they own. They don't give af about user privacy.

> They don't give af about user privacy.

That part seems to be the only universal truth these days.

IMO these two things are compatible. Their mesh network is incredibly gross but it's not a privacy violation, it's bad in other ways.

[fastball]

It's almost guaranteed to be a privacy violation unless you think Amazon can write complicated yet bug-free networking code.

I’m not sure about the privacy part, but they do have very good success with AWS, which I’m sure includes loads and loads of network code.

Amazon has some top notch mesh engineers, I know this personally. I highly doubt their talent is being used on this mesh effort, sadly.

[ActorNightly]

They very much do. When is the last time you heard about any private data leak from Amazon?

[jptech]

So your suggesting that add long as our personal information is in their hands and is utilised for maximizing profits but hasn't leaked we shouldn't worry about privacy?

Security != Privacy

[jay_kyburz]

That suggests that they are keeping it safe, not that they are not storing or using it.
