Privacy Memes

Marketing team: "Our app is privacy-focused!" Developer who actually looked at the code: *shocked cat face* Turns out their "privacy-focused" approach is just storing everything locally with zero encryption—basically the digital equivalent of writing your passwords on a Post-it and calling it "secure" because you didn't post it on Twitter. It's not a feature, it's a shortcut that accidentally became their entire security model!

The meme starts with a fake news headline about Silicon Valley's favorite mattress company "Eight Sleep" having a backdoor that lets engineers SSH into beds. Then it delivers the punchline with the classic "we are not the same" format. For the uninitiated, SSH is a secure protocol used by developers to remotely access systems, while a "backdoor" is a security vulnerability (often intentional) that bypasses normal authentication. So this guy isn't smooth-talking his way into someone's bedroom—he's literally using command line access to break in. It's basically the difference between having game and having admin privileges. One requires social skills, the other just needs the right credentials. Hackers: 1, Pickup artists: 0.
