    If they put cameras in your bathroom and you are not aware, your privacy wasn’t violated.

    There’s a reason they own all the major operating systems, messaging apps, social media platforms, cloud infrastructure and spy agencies.

    There’s always going to be some deliberate loopholes and exploits in or between the supply-chain to get to you when you’re inside their ecosystem.

    But some companies promise you’re “secure” and “private” if you use one of their expensive, shiny offerings. They swear it on their marketing, ads and PR releases.

    It’s that comfy feels of paying more for a false sense of privacy and security that matters.

    tldr; Use Linux and open source.

      It’s much easier to just attack the statement with NO, that is in fact not how the human right to privacy works. It is just misconduct, it is just extreme ignorance, a lack of knowledge about the things that your country put the person in charge of.
