<p>This MacVoices Live! discussion with <strong>Chuck Joiner</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Warren Sklar</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, and <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong> starts out with thoughts on a postcard that some of the panel members received from <a href="https://brave.com/"><strong>Brave</strong></a> stressing their focus on privacy. The conversation then shifts to some obvious missteps by tech companies which alienate their customers, and why they happen. (Part 1) </p>
