@ohyran there is a case to be made that it's really not the users' fault. Certain corporations have made their business model out of users not being able to understand the consequences of their actions.

Corps have armies of lawyers and technologists to make sense out of new technologies and changing law; users are fscked.

Technology changes faster than we can adapt:

@dredmorbius @ohyran the question is "should the users be expected to have in fact foreseen the consequences" I guess.

@rysiek @dredmorbius at a certain point - yes. Although that is a utopic ideal and hardly pragmatic and I agree - this should never be about "the user being BETTER" or an ascetic ideal.

@rysiek @ohyran At a population basis, no, not at all.
