Exactly. The whole premise is a cop out. Software engineers will collectively all care about privacy and security when their employers do. The employers will when their users/customers demand it. For right now, they prefer free to private/secure.
It will take an outside force to change that like legislation or if people get in "trouble" for sharing things that disagree with the powers that be.
The super hard thing is to help people value their privacy/security.
They already share everything on their social accounts showing they don't really care. They only care when an ex uses that information to stalk them or something. Or they make stupid myopic comments like "I have nothing to hide..." until you do because one of your FB friends has a muslim sounding name. Then they want privacy and security but still only from that person/group.
- Nomentatus 10y agoActually I prefer the original Google privacy policy, I would not have signed up to gmail if it had, then, the current non-privacy policy. It's going to take me years - at least - to back out of using Google products, but I am starting that process; and just hoping I end up actually having a choice. Privacy is one more "race to the bottom" where the government has to intervene, since acting one at a time consumers are helpless.
