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 had to have a hard conversation with my wife and in-laws about posting pictures of my son online. They agreed but didn’t get it. Once AI deepfakes became common, they got it.
Ayep. Probably including where you live and what you do for a living.
I mean it’s still probably beneficial for a lot of cases. Ad and tracking companies want the easiest route, which is just to farm the people who make no effort to improve their privacy (the majority). Sophisticated trackers do exist, and companies like Meta still do literally everything to get any last bit, but for the most part you’ll knock out 90% of invasion with even basic measures and like 98% with greater measures
