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.
Agree. One thing that I’ve noticed is that if it’s about social media I say I “had to delete it for mental health, that shit is so bad for you”, and generally get a much more receptive response than when I explain it’s primarily for privacy and that I don’t trust them with my data.
Though Zuck and others are making it way easier to point out how creepy their platforms are, so that becomes a good entrypoint re: privacy also.
only if mark would give me the zucc
also yeah they make it so easy to see how predatory they are, people will still pick sides and defend them lmao
The one I’m thinking of specifically recently is the revelation by Indian subcontractors that META was lying about their Rayban smart glasses having private mode that would not recording in private areas you set like bathroom, shower, in bed etc… And in fact it had sent tens of thousands of videos of people nude or fucking to the Indian subcontractors.
METAs response? Fire them, admit nothing. Lol. That’s some grossss shit that even normies want nothing to do with.
