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.
It’s by design. If 80 to 90% or more of people blindly agree to share their contacts and email then the rest of use are caught up in it every time we communicate with them.
You cannot both participate in mainstream social networks and communications platforms and have any real privacy.
that’s big issue but I’m referring to is the social stigma that these big tech companies and Hollywood have cultivated.
People automatically think ur too shady or paranoid if you even think about being private
I’ve heard you can ask those people, “if you have nothing to hide would you be OK with a camera in your shower? Recording you have sex?”
I like the saying that privacy is like cancer. Just because you don’t have it doesn’t mean its not vitally important to solve for society as a whole.
I like, “OK! Please hand me your phone, unlocked. Let me have it for 24h. I’ll give it back to you tomorrow. I won’t harm it in any way. I will only look.”
Or, “OK! What is your bank account number and password?”
I believe ppl know that everyone has something to hide. It’s just an excuse they use.
And those are stupid arguments.
it gets more frustrating when they double down and insist that only criminals have something to hide.
as if the people who own everything and get to make decisions for everybody and decide who is and isn’t a criminal weren’t listed in the epstein files.
