Begging your pardon, in relation to the recent discussions here, on
Zoom's business/operational intentions, "E2EE", "preserving personal
privacy", "choice of privacy tools", and "validity of choices
presented" etc., if permissible, I would like to submit the
following thoughts for your consideration. I hope that I can be
forgiven for broadening the context a little -- for properly
realizing 'what' can, and must be done (when mirages appear), are
crucial to the struggle of emerging a winning strategy to preserve
and ensure PRIVACY, and to have the same manifest - a PROFITABLE
economic enterprise. <br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000"><b>FIRST, on the matter of mirages.. on
evolving conditions in HK, swirling NOTIONS of there ever having
been the presence of "a choice",</b></font> "a fork" if you
must, exists merely as a by-product of one's <u>situational
"unawareness</u>" and <u>a very personal "unenlightenment</u>".
In order for Privacy model(s) to be turned into successful business
enterprises (among other considerations), CANDIDATE
orientations/builds must be able to: scale the vast SWATHS of
disparities relating to privacy and security knowledge among members
of societies, deliver a very personal benefit, be operationally
sustainable, and yield superior market profitability.<br>
<br>
SECOND, on the matter of user's unawareness, I am forced having to
admit that investigative research on "Privacy" and "Security" of
personal information in the past 5 years would have me conclude that
MANY users of technology and tech services are, in Matt's shoes,
humorously depicted here, in this Kiwi Gov video at BBC:

<br>
<br>
Above all, a simple question that I could post here for our list
membership to consider is: "How will it be possible for ANYONE to
protect the very substance of 'a certain something', when, 'THAT',
which is at the risk of being lost is not well understood, and the
'VALUE' of that which is likely to be lost, is also not properly
comprehended?" Adjacently, it can be said: in significant
proportion, <u>'SECURITY operators'</u> are both unaware and
unprepared to address the nature and the scope of risks in the '<u>information
environment</u>'.<br>
