People. Who. Aren't. Good. With. Technology. Deserve. Security. And. Privacy. Too.
@JessTheUnstill I turned this over in my head a few times and I think you're not in touch. We do need better consumer protections so it isn't such a pain in the ass to maintain your privacy, but it's not that complicated. People trade convenience for privacy all the time and I try to educate people about it and most do not even want to learn - its not worth their effort. Tech companies know that, so they play on people's laziness. At the end of the day some of the blame does fall on the lazy.
@drewt00 @JessTheUnstill Fair enough, but does it HAVE to be so much extra work to be private/secure? Why are we blaming folks for not wanting to play the 'which JavaScript component I blocked is making the page not load' game everytime they click on a link? I operate in this manner everyday and it's tiresome. My computer is the only tool I own that is designed to constantly work against my wishes. We should be shifting blame to those who designed their systems like this.
@drewt00 @JessTheUnstill how many people don’t even look their phones with a passcode or use something like 00000 or 12345 they even to lazy to set up Face or Touch ID on their iPhones or they think for some reason 00000 is more secure then those options? And how many people use outdated smartphones because they still work? As long massaging works everything is fine they just complain when WhatsApp ends the support of their old Android version
