This is an open question on how to get the masses to care…
Unfortunately, if other people don’t protect their privacy it affects those who do, because we’re all connected (e.g. other family members, friends). So it presents a problem of how do you get people who don’t care, to care?
I started the Rebel Tech Alliance nonprofit to try to help with this, but we’re still really struggling to convert people who have never thought about this.
(BTW you might need to refresh our website a few times to get it to load - no idea why… It does have an SSL cert!)
So I hope we can have a useful discussion here - privacy is a team sport, how do we get more people to play?
This is where it depends on country.
EU is making better privacy laws, others are making worse. (yes, I know about the encryption bill in the EU, that has never been voted through. I also know about all the privacy laws that actually work here)
How much privacy does EU law even provide though.
Faceberg transfered whatapps data into us despite it being condition for the buy out deal. Minor fine.
Another fine recently again sun 1b…
So the data is bring traded and exploited. I like that EU is trying to do a thing lol but let’s be real… It ain’t shite in grand scheme of things.
Take care of your own privacy or somebody is gonna do it for you. The “law” ain’t gonna do that, that’s for fucking sure
