Yeah sure. Like people are caring about Facebook so much right now because of all the informations they've been given about how dangerous this is ?

  How about we do it so that I and anyone that cares can make an informed decision? Just because not everyone reads the nutritional information on food doesn't mean it's not worth having.

    Sure I don't mean we should not do it. You can't do without education. It's a mandatory condition. It's just not enough. People's priority is not to be actors in their society right now. They don't want to exercise the power they have, because that mean also taking the responsibility for it. I have no idea what the solution is to that problem though.

      One standard solution to the "tragedy of the commons" problem is to change the incentives such that the actors don't destroy the commons. Usually involves an external authority (i.e. government) to enforce though. Additionally, this is not a new or unique problem. Similar problems exist in the areas of car safety, flight safety or product safety. The way it's solved there is by enforcing safety standards and denying market access to products or services that don't meet those standards.

    What you share on Facebook is mostly and primarily your problem, and maybe a problem of those who you associate with. Insecure IoT devices are already being leveraged to perform large-scale DDoS attacks, which makes this an infrastructural issue. It affects many other people who are in no way affiliated with you. It's less like nutritional labels and more like vaccination. Solutions to such problem should not depend on your consent, informed or otherwise.

      Yet look at the reaction I get for advocating informed consent. As an industry we hate collective action.
