Tech companies are trying to redefine privacy again

Original: Tech companies are trying to shift the concept of privacy again

The Electronic Frontier Foundation warns that major tech companies are once again attempting to shift the public understanding of what privacy means, reportedly to justify new data practices that would otherwise face resistance. The article argues that redefining privacy in narrower, more convenient terms lets firms erode protections without triggering backlash. Readers are debating how far the industry has moved the goalposts and what it means for users' control over personal data.

Why now: A prominent EFF warning about tech companies reframing privacy has struck a chord amid ongoing concerns over data collection practices.
