    Yep.

    Just cause it doesnt affect you, doesnt mean it wont eventually have an effect on you.

    Lots of people shrugging their shoulders and going “Why should I care about spying? I’ve got nothing to hide” are exactly why we are where we are right now.

      This is a true statement but it also doesn’t accomplish anything. As much as you want others to care about something, they have quite literally a whole world of stuff going on in their head and these things are not necessarily priorities. They should be, but they aren’t.

      We need to keep in mind we are in an echo chamber and as important as these things are for us, we are in the minority. It isn’t because people don’t care, they are just busy with their own gremlins.

      It’s a problem but also very human.

      This right here. I spent years saying this is fine. I’ll deal with it. I’ll change this setting or that setting. I’m at the point where I am ready to chuck almost all Internet connected technology.
