@aral I don’t disagree; I just think it’s more complicated than ‘all reviews must mention it now, or are complicit in the problem.’ -
@matthewbbolton Unfortunately, the tech media’s love affair with the next-venture-capital-backed free service *is* part of the problem. -
@aral I agree, though there you often have companies with no business model at all. Will they monetise your data? Maybe. [Shrug] -
@matthewbbolton * most definitely :)

@aral@matthewbbolton …comms encrypted and to what standard? And so on. There’d be more of that than review of what the software does… -

@alstonebridge@matthewbbolton It doesn't have to take up much space… have an idea, will write up/suggest it. -
@aral@matthewbbolton Thank you. Space isn’t the only consideration that’s of concern, mind. Are there legal implications for publishing… -
@aral@matthewbbolton …a review that says something meets a certain standard? We have to take developer’s word for it.
