    This exaggerated attempt at emphasizing their supposed privacy commitment is so over the top it actually creates the effect of making me distrust them.

    “Hey it’s been one year since the incident, this also means it’s been one year since we promised our hotel was super safe! Guess what, we didn’t lie! So please visit our safe hotel, we added a bunch of quick police hotlines, fire hydrants, emergency exits and bullet proof vests. Anyways, please enjoy a safe experience and feel safe while sleeping in our safe hotel!”

      It definitely feels weird, but it could also just a reaction to the significant criticisms at the time of the purchase and change of ownership.

      Integrity company here. It’s been a year since we partnered with known mobster Two Face and we promised you that he would have no influence over our business other than as a financier and we’ve kept that promise! As you can see his racketeering has been kept completely independent of our day to day activities. You can trust us and Two Face that we will be allowed to be completely independent and there is no tom foolery going around behind the scenes.

      There’s a news/politics website in my country that had radio ads, billboards and everything with a slogan “No one tells us what we should write about.” This tweet reminds me of that and doesn’t really fill me with trust either. BTW, the mentioned website is described as a “disinformation medium” on Wikipedia.

      I mean, their message is a little weird, but so is the scaremongering that’s been going on against them ever since they changed ownership. From comments on the Reddit post, Branch is actually integrated into Google apps, Samsung Launcher, and a ton of other stuff and nobody really blinks an eye at that.

      There literally is no evidence they do anything unseemly with peoples’ data, yet the scaremongering persists, including a lot right here in this thread. What exactly are they supposed to say other than to emphasize this fact? Anyone who would distrust them based on this post was already definitely inclined to distrust them.

      I see it more as a jab at the insane scaremongering when they sold.

      Yeah sure, some concerns are justified in that situation, alright. But it’s not like you need to instantly drop something the moment this happens, more so because half the alternatives people recommend have trackers the very company that bought nova runs.
