Why not talking about Youtube New Policy about WhiteHat related YTChannels? Kind of a Major Stuff! How are we supposed to spread infosec sensibility?

We really need to start fining companies for privacy hoarding. I am getting sick of big business thinking it can just do anything they want to no matter how immoral to increase their profits .

Because the policy isn't necessarily that new. It was introduced way back in April (maybe earlier). The video that was taken down on Kody's channel was later reinstated same day and he was told it was removed in accident.

The only Echo data Amazon is going to get from me is me repeatedly asking what time it is and what's the weather. I sometimes check the closing hours of local businesses.

the attacks on open source fascinate me - its something i hadnt considered much until i worked on an open source project. a lot of projects tend to focus on convenience and features... forgetting that any program downloaded by 100,000 people creates a target for criminals by its mere existence. github allows two factor, so i would like to know how this failed for Canonical.
