This is it in a nutshell - nobody pays attention to privacy settings, and they don't think about the consequences of the fact that they can see other people payments scroll by on their screens.
- dpflan 8y agoI agree. I think there may be social pressure (implied, inherent, made-up) or laziness or unawareness that perpetuates this. You can make private the default setting. The idea of broadcasting your finances only makes sense for social messaging/indicating.
