Whenever you're building new tech, please seek privacy advice right from the start. Not as a last step before deployment.

Privacy people want to make your tech better! For you, your customers, and everybody else. But they can only do so if you make them part of your project, not just some final to-do on your checklist.

@r_alb privacy by design is the thing!

@r_alb I don't think many privacy violations are by mistake. Why should they create privacy if they instead could take the money and sell "privacy" as a hollow marketing term?

I agree when it comes to big tech.
But with normal companies, at least in my experience, it's quite often a lack of awareness and knowledge.
Or conveniance, to be honest. It has become too easy to deploy anything as long as you don't care about privacy or security. But if a company wants its tech to be good, they have to put it some work. And it's absolutely worth it.

@r_alb I agree that what you said is another factor. But I just don't think there are many for-profit companys that are even trying to build a great product. Most of the time it makes more sense to them to build their shit as fast and cheap as possible so it barely fulfills the requirements and the marketing can't be sued for claiming they sell "privacy" or what ever...

I won't say that you're wrong there. Some companies do behave like that and should be snubbed for their lack of respect for their customers.
Fortunately, there are responsible companies as well. If there weren't any, I'd not have a job. :)

@paninid @cypnk @r_alb @Em0nM4stodon The way it’s the same folk who say ”you’ve no need to worry if you’ve got nothing to hide”, as wel,as ”you can’t take your top off here”, not to mention ”think of the children/this is a family environment”

Ask not what you have to hide from your country. Ask what your country has to find from you.
