I think part of it is the public lack of understanding of technology. A layman won't understand the phrase "Facebook API allowed access to data" as opposed to "There was a breach".
- kingkongjaffa 9y agoThe worst part of that is that a layman only "thinks" he understands what "There was a breach" even begins to mean. But what/who do we blame? Is it the education systems staggering lack of ability to prepare people for modern, tech-enabled society in any sort of privacy-as-a-right context.
- Lionsion 9y ago> But what/who do we blame? No one? We shouldn't be assigning "blame" because the public doesn't have the same specialized education that we have to understand the nuances of "APIs" vs "breaches." I think what needs to be done is to create an easily understandable formulation of "privacy-as-a-right" and teach that.
