Have you guys also noticed this? I’m not talking about “Oh my family isn’t privacy conscious” I honestly get that for ur average moms and pops, they don’t know any better.
the problem is with how these big tech companies effectively poisoned the everyday Joe to think that handing over ur data like a good boy is the norm and breaking out is “weird” and “too much”, this blame also goes on Hollywood.
Yesterday my friend called me " Mr robot" for just taking my privacy seriously I thought it was funny.
some people also fired their single neuron and told me “People only do this when they have something to hide”
These remarks that I face from time to time really highlights the mentality of the general society where if you break out of the norm, even if it doesn’t harm them, they would find a way to make off handed remarks about it almost like they’re dissatisfied that you’re fighting.
I’ve recently realized that people have no idea how algorithms work. It’s also eye-opening when you realize how poorly educated many people are and how bad the literacy rates are.
I’ve tried as hard as I can to help people around me. They just don’t get it. I’ve provided alternatives and told them they fund fascism when giving info away. I’ve been trying to help the “I have nothing to hide” club for 15 years now. It’s just no use. I have failed to convince a single person.
