Seriously, I’m impressed.
Here’s a hypothetical scenario for your consideration. Let’s say I want to know what you’re doing behind your own closed doors. So I peek under your window blinds and take pictures of what goes on in there. And it’s not just you, I’m not picking on you personally or anything, I’m doing it to all your neighbors too. Seriously, it’s nothing personal. But among the people I’m peeping on surveiling, you’re the one who finds out. Maybe I left a stack of photos on my coffee table or something and you saw them, I don’t know.
And you’re all like, “Hey! You can’t do that! That’s an invasion of my privacy! (And those pink paisley underpants are totally an aberration, I assure you.)” Anyway, you’re upset. You rant and rave. You alert the media. (Which I own.)
My reaction? Contrition. You’re absolutely right, I was absolutely wrong. I should never, never have allowed you to see me doing that. And here are the steps I’m going to take to overhaul my procedures and prevent that ever happening again. Really, I’m very sorry you saw that. Please accept my apology and give me another chance.
No, seriously. Go read it.
yes they are truely sorry. a bunch of sorry POSs.
The problem they see is not that they collected private data but that the data escaped into the wild. I see an issue of privacy and they see an issue of security. The twain shall never meet.
