Privacy or Security ?
Too many hardware and software companies are forcing consumers to choose one or the other.

I do not understand why subscriptions for basic tools don't evoke fear in the average consumer. Is it the greed for convenience ? Is it the feeling of superiority when you meet someone who cannot afford the service ? Or simply resignation ?
