it is sort of funny that most of your examples of things companies "tend not to do" end up on the news fairly regularly.

big tech ignoring gdpr, ignoring or working around privacy protections, their technology being easily abused for stalking or harassment with no effort put into curtailing bad behavior, location data being bought and sold, etc.

i think the only thing from your list i haven't seen in the news in the last couple of months is employees of big tech doing break & enters.

(and this is all before we even approach the topic of data breaches!)

they still don't just completely ignore regulations, like do we really think they just don't apply to them?

we're talking about meta supposedly using facial recognition on the glasses to build a master database of faces or something

like if I was Zuckerberg I would not want to do that, it would lead to a congressional hearing and all kinds of lawsuits I'd imagine.

like where do we draw the line on plausible?

or do we just go and say yeah meta must be spying on everything and feeding everything to a database where they sell everything about you

like what about CCTV backups or robo vac camera feeds? should we assume that companies are deliberately sending all the data so they can sell raw video feeds and they just don't tell you?

I'm not counting in incompetence and data breaches, I'm talking about intentional stuff
