It’s easy to say that nothing has changed. I know that I felt that something was changing when Verizon (of all companies) created and publicized a new privacy-focused search engine.
You can argue how successful their privacy-first search engine is or isn’t going to be. But I think this is yet more evidence that the pendulum of privacy is starting to swing back in the opposite direction.
It absolutely is not. There is no evidence of this. Also, why do I keep seeing privacy stories about only one of the video doorbell vendors?
