Veronica ExplainsYou still deserve privacy, even if you:
- don't use Linux
- use big social media sites
- aren't "techie"
- are just an average computer user
Those of us in the FOSS space need to do a better job of saying that everyone deserves privacy.

The default needs to be privacy. Most people don't change the defaults.

UkeleleEric@UkeleleEric @emar404 @veronica i am very serious. Tech minded people should be the ones sounding the alarms about corpos like Meta and their criminal activities.

Years ago I was able to educate my non-techie mother on the importance of E2EE by using "would you trust the federal government with a copy of your house keys?" as a metaphor.

@draken @UkeleleEric @veronica using metaphors is the way to go for sure, I feel like most non techie people kind of stop listening when tech gets explained lol (which I understand there is a big misconception that anything tech is magic and only smart people understand it). Or I even hear the attitude of "well they already got everything on me so might as well not care" 0_0
