It kind of saddens me that none of my friends in the physical world are technical enough to even understand what all of this means when I try to explain it to them. They just can’t grasp the importance of privacy. It’s super frustrating that the only people who understand what I’m talking about when I talk about the importance of privacy are people who already think the same way.
I just about lost it when my dad said, “Why should I keep a lock on everything? I have nothing to hide!” BRUH. He was head of a large program at the time. He was absolutely the person to hack.
Yeah, it’s difficult to understand. It took me a long time to get it. I was stubbornly stuck on “yeah but what will they actually do with that info?” and “it’s just too difficult to worry about all that”. It had to get way worse for me to take any action and it took a lot to get me to realize you can abate the problem without it being perfectly “solved”. I think that’s a lot of people. “Well you can’t fix it so why try? It’s too hard in the first place”

The “I have nothing to hide” argument is so infuriating to me that it makes me want to scream.
