This is all very nice but I prefer to take the position that nothing is going to be kept private and the government can see and hear any communication you make. Mitch pretty much confirmed the latter. Companies are incapable of maintaining privacy and their security is never going to stop people from getting in to their systems. The answer is simple. Don’t put anything on the internet or in the mail that you would feel badly about if it appeared on the front page of the newspaper unless (in the case of the internet) it is encrypted.
I guess they never thought about privacy that much before this, which makes them even more suspect.
Taking a taxi shouldn’t even begin to involve privacy issues in the first place. Uber tracks you by tracking their own tracks, that is very original at least.
They need a “Tact Expert” not a privacy expert. The issue isn’t privacy so much as shitty management.
