Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.
Its not that people have nothing to hide.
Its that they haven’t become aware that there are people who will harm them if they get a hold of certain information.
The easiest example now would be Trump’s fascist regime mass cracking down on dissidents and establishing a mass surveillance and blackmail system with Palantir.
But we don’t even need to go that far. Ever buy anything online? Got any financial or tax info stored on any electronic device that connects to the internet? I doubt you’d want some random criminal to get a hold of that info.
