Not particularly. His point isn&#x27;t that you shouldn&#x27;t do anything sponsored by a major corporation. It&#x27;s that this is a privacy conference, and these specific major corporations make their money off of destroying privacy. That&#x27;s a conflict of interest.<p>Anyway, lately Apple is the big institutional champion for end-to-end encryption, so they might be on the &quot;allowable sponsors&quot; list for a privacy conference.
