The current ruling power is already willing. It is the people who are not.

A huge win for people's rights and climate
Yes. So much potential wasted/
A tent outside is still living alone
Summary:
00:28 - Security is not privacy, prefer security
02:53 - Telemetry is not always bad
05:18 - Tor is not a trap
06:52 - Big companies are not more secure than smaller ones
08:58 - Icognito is only private locally
09:55 - VPN is not an infallible legendary magical tool
11:02 - Privacy is not dead, you don't need to be 100% private
12:11 - "I have nothing to hide" fallacy
We need an extension like DeArrow for the whole web.
I am talking about features and developers themselves. Yes, companies are giant immortals that always existed. However, developers are individuals trying to create something new. And features do work like new bands - some people like them, others don't and it all depends on how/when they are introduced to the customer.
A different problem which you can identify is, for example, how some companies use the customer as a test subject. They release unfinished features to the public to test them in a real environment. This often causes chaos, as new features tend to have multiple exploits and bugs.
What happened to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?”
Saying this in tech is complete nonsense. Nothing is ever not broken! Because there is always something to be polished, acessibility and usability can only be perfected over time.
It's a lot like a new smaller band, which is trying to make a difference in the world. They might sound terrible, but they have to start somewhere.
Why did they include 2 days to be precise? 2 days is less precise than 48 hours...
It is unfortunate that some countries are using cameras, microphones and others to control the behaviour of people. I agree that it is a required measure - as some people do not change their behaviours out of good will - but it is definitely not ideal.
Hopefully, in some years it will no longer be necessary, as people will have those good behaviours deeply rooted.
