Google recently generated a flurry of coverage about its supposed privacy pivot, including an op-ed(ventana nueva) in The New York Times by chief executive Sundar Pichai. “We feel privileged that billions of people trust products like Search, Chrome, Maps, and Android to help them every day,” Pichai wrote.
It’s not that we necessarily trust Google. It’s that, as a near monopoly, we have no choice. In fact, the crisis of trust — after a year of data breaches and congressional appearances — has led all the major tech companies to launch public relations campaigns around privacy.
This is a smokescreen to satisfy regulators and pacify consumers while continuing their data exploitation activities. While some of the changes they have made are positive, they have no intention to give up their lucrative business model of ads powered by surveillance, which is fundamentally at odds with privacy.
There was a time when we had meaningful privacy on the Internet. In the early days, dot-com barons weren’t interested in surveillance and data mining. The business model was subscriptions, led by companies like America Online, which dominated the space.
As more users moved away from proprietary portals like America Online toward the open Internet, browsers and search replaced subscriber services as the gateway to the web. Clicks and user data seeded the beginnings of what is now called surveillance capitalism.
By the end of the decade, a science project at Stanford was on pace to supplant “search” as a verb. Ironically, Google is an ad-funded doppelganger of the subscriber services it replaced. Instead of charging users for access, it simply spies on their online activity, location history, and behaviors to give advertisers (their true customers) unprecedented power to manipulate consumer behavior.
Today, the consequences of this shift are challenging our democracies and unraveling our sense of truth. Monopolistic attention merchants wield more power than anyone in human history. For instance, in 2017, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg single-handedly reduced(ventana nueva) video viewership by 50 million hours per day, like turning a dial.
“Google’s fake privacy campaign is a smokescreen to satisfy regulators and pacify consumers while continuing their data exploitation activities.”
After the backlash of the last year, with threats of new US privacy laws and anti-trust actions, we are now being told that privacy was actually a core value of these companies all along. “Data minimization is an important privacy principle for us,” writes Pichai (whose company keeps detailed profiles(ventana nueva) on billions of people). Google and Facebook have promised to give users back some control, with simplified privacy settings and features like incognito mode on more apps.
Zuckerberg played at a similar game in his announcement, saying, “I believe working towards implementing end-to-end encryption for all private communications is the right thing to do,” but simultaneously working to combine metadata on contacts, conversations, and payments from all its services to better track and spy on users, much to the ire of European privacy regulators(ventana nueva). That Facebook is aware of the duplicity of its privacy shift is obvious from the announcement on a recent shareholders call that it had set aside $5 billion for future FTC privacy violation fines(ventana nueva).
If Google were truly serious about privacy, it could easily announce it would no longer retain search histories to build profiles on all its users, or that it would use end-to-end encryption(ventana nueva) to avoid collecting user data. If a start-up search engine like DuckDuckGo or Proton Mail can do it profitably with tens of millions of users, so can Google.
We are being manipulated, and we need better choices. Our privacy rights should not be reduced to scraps that tech titans throw at us (wrapped in a PR campaign) whenever users start to complain. (Learn why Gmail confidential mode is not secure or private(ventana nueva).) Privacy should be a core value that is guaranteed not only through a more ethical business model(ventana nueva), but through the mathematical certainty of strong encryption.
This is the vision that led our founders, a group of scientists who met at CERN, to start Proton Mail in 2014. At Proton Mail’s heart is actual data minimization(ventana nueva). We do not collect any unnecessary data from our users, and the data we do collect is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for us to exploit. For once, your data is actually yours.
Real privacy empowers users in ways Pichai has not yet described. Real privacy isn’t giving people “choices around how their data is used.” Real privacy means not treating people’s information like a commodity. It means giving people the ability to think and speak freely, and engage in civil discourse without the filter bubbles(ventana nueva) increasingly polarizing our society. Most importantly, real privacy enables us to build an Internet that doesn’t just further enrich the most privileged among us but puts the best interest of all citizens of the world first. It’s no wonder why there’s a growing movement toward real privacy that requires learning how to deGoogle your life and fighting back against the cheap marketing tricks of Big Tech.
Privacy, like freedom and democracy, are fundamentally about the same thing: choice. And we must not let ubiquitous tech giants like Google and Facebook tinker dangerously with the very concept of “privacy.”
Privacy is not the ability to turn off the listening device in your bedroom, trusting there isn’t another one hidden in the wall. Real privacy is choosing who enters your home in the first place.
