[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 714063"] So we should shift the blame back on people? Should we blame accidents on skid marks on the road too? Granted, consumers need to accept SOME responsibility, however the industry at a whole is to blame for the majority of it. It's their products, services and API's that are the issue. It's their lust for more knowledge than they need to provide a basic product or service that is to blame. Also, what resource should the consumer use to gather more data on what is more or less private than something else? This isn't always as evident as many people think. For example how many 'normal' consumers realize Dashlane sends a log of everything they do off to Ireland every few seconds but that Bit Warden has no logging at all? Maybe we need a A, B, C, D grade for privacy pinned to every product and established by a consumer group made up of industry, consumers and privacy advocates? If people still elect a D grade product for privacy then I can see criticizing them but until then I think the industry and their excessive logging and telemetry really needs to grow up. [/QUOTE]
