    I’m glad you cleared that up, it did read a bit like sarcasm. But yes, we can’t have true data security or privacy for one very important reason.

    It doesn’t create value for the shareholders

      I’m really not following your reasoning in this thread. Are you arguing that we would have a way to securely transfer nude images to another individual and prevent them from distributing that image if such a technology created value for shareholders? And we can’t do that because it doesn’t?

        We can’t even protect it on your device. The capitalism thing is the why of it all. There’s more value to just marketing something as secure than to actually writing and testing stuff thoroughly. As a result corporations just don’t do security very well at any level unless it’s required by the government and the penalty is complete loss of revenue. But you only see that in military contracting and Banks.
