The issue I’m having is that the morals of someone who would work for a planteir and people who would be in the military are not the morals of people who are advocates, or even might have a moral understanding, of the importance of privacy. I can imagine you creating the service because you see the market demanding this privacy, but what bothers me is that you worked for these companies in the first place.

Like others explained here, it’s amazing that you didn’t know these problems existed before you worked for at Plantier. If you could explain your migration from delusion to insight in a personal way of that might help me a bit more. In fact, if you said Plantier was an evil company, I might have even more faith.

If someone elsestarted this company who had a long history in privacy outside of the government, my take would be a lot different. In my humble opinion, I think you don’t really care about privacy. You’re just taking advantage of a market niche. And what can I say but that’s capitalism so good luck.

It would be better if you used your inside knowledge to fight for laws banning these practices by all the telcos.
