Yes but then they wouldn't have an excuse to create Spyware for your messaging apps so they can send data of your messages to the highest advertising bidder (Not to mention to the government to help control voting patterns) and pretend it's about keeping you safe.

I got downvoted in r/android for pointing out what's actually going on here. Its amazing how much "intellectuals" on this site feel the need to pretend corporations are altruistic.

Because of course the corporations are gonna be honest about their motives for invading privacy and basic human rights.

"speculation without evidence" is a really nice catch all to defend any and all corporations for their corruption, greed, and violation of rights.

I am not defending anyone. I am suggesting that you speculate without evidence. While that’s everyone right, of course, it’s important to separate speculation from facts.
