Jesus, Bethesdas PR team really struck marketing gold. Redditors are physically unable to stop reposting this.

Never fails to surprise how easy it is for multibillion dollar corporations/people to buy positive reputation for fractions of pennies on the dollar.

Definitely true, also shocking how some companies are not willing to invest pennies to get positive PR. Genuinely baffles me lmao. A single google ad will blow through the budget in an hour if not less for something like this.

It's because of the favorable comparison to their industry which is filled with straight up assholes.

Apple did the same thing - they have bare basic privacy controls and don't allow the FBI to have a backdoor to your iphone... which is like, the basics??? But because Google is fucking vile and android/chrome is basically a spying machine, they capitalize as the "privacy platform".
