Not a single friend or family member gives two shits about privacy. When I tell them about what companies know about them and what they do with that information, it’s kind of like a vegan telling a meat eater where their meat comes from. Like “wow that sounds bad but I’m not willing to make any changes”. The only difference is that instead of animals being a product, this time they are the product.

Until and unless there is real and tangible detrimental effect in their lives they will probably never ever give a shit about privacy.

And what is there to point out as such?
