Google getting higher marks for privacy than Apple seems somewhat suspicious to me.

@anildash That is the elephant in the room. The quantity and quality of private information collected is obviously not factored in. About as useful as a report on cigarettes not including the quantity and type of cancers caused. -
The thing they’re optimizing fir is consumer disclosure, on the grounds that informed consumers are the necessary starting point for good decisions. How would you make an objective measure of collected data quality?
-
These grounds are already biased as they imply users have the scientific knowledge needed to evaluate how the exposed data allows to predict and/or condition purchasing behavior. They never will.
-
What about regulators/policy makers or journalists or activists?
-
If this report was objective it would include their input, indeed. Without it, it is just technical-based PR. The implications of privacy data access are societal, not technical.
-
I think that’s a fair critique; would love to connect you with the team & hear their response to it.

The other recipients of this series of tweets are infinitely more competent than I am to address these issues. I henceforth refer you to them.
