abadidea (@[email protected]) Attached: 1 image jetbrains is far from the first company to make this particular pair of claims but it is simply, on the most fundamental level, impossible to mass-collect people’s terminal and editor contents and also not collect sensitive or personal data. I realize they may have the foresight to use pattern-matching filters to skip over some of the most obvious ones (in which case they should be more specific and less handwavey), but that will only ever catch a fraction of it. And no company wants to admit and take responsibility for the fact that their data-hoarding practices are constantly violating GDPR, HIPAA, and every other acronym under the sun https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/115337582529033236
