I find ‘heterodox blogger’ to be one of the more annoying business personas.
When I had to work at IBM in the early 2000s because of an acquisition, we met a lot of ‘corporate edgelords’ whose personal brand was built on eloquently explaining to IBM audiences how every cloud computing innovation coming out of West Coast tech companies already existed on the mainframe since the 1970s, and was therefore stupid to invest in. Their big closer was usually some version of how ‘Silicon Valley is so far behind IBM they think they’re ahead’.
These were the same guys who ran Lotus Domino in their home lab for fun because gmail was stupid.
"We also collect the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services. This includes things like email you write and receive, photos and videos you save, docs and spreadsheets you create, and comments you make on YouTube videos."
Their words not mine.
They have to to store it. Every third party email service collects the content you create, upload, or recieve. Even, under this definition, the "private" encrypted ones.

Very tedious.
