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.
Ayup. I try to tell my friends. It’s not how your data might hurt you today. It’s how it can hurt you tomorrow.
You might be 10 years old today. You could be alive in 60, 70 more years. After who knows what changes to law, culture, tech, everything.
Naomi Brockwell said something like “If someday we decide we hate red haired people, we will not look only at the photos people uploaded after we decided that. We will go back through the pictures people posted long ago.”
She was speaking metaphorical ofc. “Red hair” could be anything.
