If attention could be shifted to that standard, the shortcomings of Android and iOS would be much easier to highlight and the need for an open operating system becomes plain. After all, even a prisoner gets some privacy... when the jailers allow it.
Any updates on the CUBE?
Very Good point. In general I feel that much of the 'privacy' talk in the broader community is highly superficial because, as you rightly point out, it boils down to "I don't want companies or their employees to look at my selfies" rather questioning the rights of third parties to do so in the first place.
Inviting a higher degree of complexity to this discussion, which spans a broad spectrum from the legal to the ontological (e.g. what constitutes a right? / where do rights to x and y come from? / do we even have a right? etc.,) is something that will inevitably happen at some point. But questioning living in a jail, rather than being outraged at a guard peeping while you piss, is sadly something very few people from the general public will follow - in part due to the same reason few people can define or spell the word sovereignty. I simply think that privacy is more catchy, simple and immediately obvious and therefore also broadly used.
