At some point we need to talk about Apple's definition of "privacy" (which Google has largely adopted, sadly).

It reminds me of a clip from the Daily Show which I can't locate where John Stewart asks Rob Riggle if the surge in Iraq will work, and his reply is something like: "tactically I hate it, strategically it's dogshit, but operationally? can't get enough of it"

...which is to say, it's something one can (be seen to) *do*. That's roughly how Big Tech is approaching privacy now. It's bad.
