“Yesterday, Evernote announced some changes to its privacy policy that proved to be very controversial. To help with its machine learning efforts, some employees would gain the ability to see users’ personal notes.

The changes weren’t meant to go into effect until January 23, and now they won’t be. In fact, the firm has admitted that it has made a mistake, and is now trying to make sure that its users know that they can still trust it.”

And really, shouldn’t they have known better? Maybe stop and think before violating your user’s privacy?
