Still means jack shit. Companies will lie through their teeth and violate any and all they can get away with.

They are not to be trusted.

    You're missing the point, nobody is talking about trusting these companies.

    You can tell if a connection is encrypted end to end or not. And if your paying for that service you can sue if you aren't receiving what your paying for.

    In digital security nobody relies on trust if they can help it. And security matters if you want to keep a competitive edge on your competition, so even shitty companies care about that.

    I was not talking about your specific lawsuit, or TLS.

    Companies trust other companies all the time, and it's foundational to most all SLA/SLOs. Any time I've voiced concerns around how AI companies are using the data we are giving them (like giving them access to our codebase), it's brushed off as "we have an agreement with them". It's just a load of hogwash. They can and will abuse all data they have access to, just as they have done thus far.

    In this particular case, we are talking about a data center, and it is not at all reasonable to assume that the data that flows to said data center is in any way protected, especially one run by Musk.

    I'm not sure if you mean "trust" as in a handshake or not, but that's not what we're talking about about. At larger scales, everything is done in written contracts, strictly. Shit rolls DOWNhill if those are not airtight, and that's when lawsuits kick off.

    I'm saying that AI companies have repeatedly shown a flagrant disregard for licenses, contracts, and the law, and have engaged in massive theft. Why should we expect that any contract would actually be honored? The whole thing is a huge fucking grift.
