You put to much trust in companies :)
Its going to be harder to trust any app now. Who knows who's behind it?
It's a trust issue. Too many companies cannot be trusted to make software that truly, effectively, anonymizes data before it leaves your device. I trust Mozilla, but I understand others don't. And it's part of the way that we lose trust in general when abuse is so common.
Why should I trust someone with my data that can't even manage this lmao
You're expecting people to trust Stripe.The problem is that there's not much reason left to trust tech companies by default.
You don't need to trust the third parties, that's the point.
Sure, trust in a third party that has a good reputation versus the company itself that says "trust us". Big difference.
I can't speak for anyone else, but if it were me, I wouldn't expect anyone to trust me enough to use it, so why bother?
Ok understood. I guess it shows how much trust you are putting in an org by using their software, (and anecdotally how apparently willing people are to break that trust)
Never trusting the server seems equivalent to never using an online service. This isn't helpful.
