Are some manufacturers better than others? Should we accept these costs as the unavoidable cost of convenience? And if not, then what recourse do we have? To discuss these and more, join us for a conversation with Zo\u00eb MacDonald of the \u201cPrivacy Not Included Buyers Guide\u201d of the Mozilla Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
