The user data is just too juicy a potential profit center to pass up on. So many models to create, to theoretically replace many of us.

We should assume that everyone is on their worst behavior going forward. Zoom, Slack, MS, Apple, etc.

Untrue. Employees are asked to focus on sec. The org tells you that the company runs on trust. This is not lip service - it's not that internally they state otherwise, and it's certainly naive to think so.

What happens is that, meanwhile, business is happening. People are making (small) decisions that adds up to big things, and leadership tends to trust those below to make the right calls and implement technology correctly. Which, time and time again, doesn't happen.

Yes, maybe it need to be more of a priority, but, it also isn't a conscious decision.
