Michael T. Jones este ambasadorul pentru tehnologie al companiei Google, iar intr-un interviu acordat recent unei televiziuni din Australia, el a vorbit despre Google, Apple, dar si Microsoft. Jones sustine ca are incredere in felul in care cele 3 companii administreaza datele personale ale utilizatorilor, desi Google a fost investigata de multe ori pentru modul in care lucreaza cu acest tip de date. El spune ca toate cele 3 organizatii sunt construite in jurul unor persoane cumsecade care isi doresc sa ajute utilizatorii, nu sa profite de datele oferite de catre ei.
I think it’s a matter of you only work with people that you trust,” Jones said when pressed on whether he sees any danger in these large organizations holding an increasing amount of data on individual behaviors. “I certainly trust Apple, and I trust Google, and I trust Microsoft, for that matter. These are not corrupt organizations; these are nice people trying to serve you. In the case of Google, everyone does it voluntarily. You do a search, you could have gone to somebody else; you came to us. If you thought we might betray you, you wouldn’t come to us. So we stand to lose $30 billion or more the moment people lose trust in us.
Vorbind despre iOS 6 Maps, Jones a spus, mai in gluma, mai in serios, ca utilizatorii isi risca viata utilizand sistemul celor de la Apple si a facut referire la cazurile in care politia din Australia a avertizat utilizatorii sa nu foloseasca aplicatia. Este normal sa auzim un angajat Google recomandand utilizatorilor sa evite iOS 6 Maps, si e normal sa existe o concurenta intre cele doua companii, iar Google Maps are deocamdata cel mai avansat serviciu gratuit de geolocalizare.
