Unfortunately, a lot of the people who are aware have bought into the idea that it is not harmful or only associated with advertising recommendations that are beneficial to them, even.

How a foreign government can use the same tools (by hacking us), or as John Oliver pointed out, the government has your dick pics. And any nudes you sent.

- godelski 8y agoBecause they think "it can't happen here". Or "I'd recognize Hitler if he was coming to power" type of thoughts. Probably because we only talk about evil people with respect to their evilness. And not how evil people can also do good things.
