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.
