Some people, are apparently willing to trade their privacy for the supposed convenience these types of devices provide.
I don't understand it either, but either some people truly don't care, or they genuinely find these devices to be worth the trade off.
- throwaway29303 7y agoThe average person doesn't care and/or doesn't understand and/or doesn't care enough to understand how these systems and the data economy works. I've been trying to explain this to friends and family since a decade or more ago and most of them think I'm paranoid or crazy. It doesn't matter how I explain to them; I've even shown them news articles about - for example - what the EU did with regards to data protection / privacy. Etc. Unfortunately... They. Simply. Do. Not. Care. I fear the worst, honestly. These big tech companies hold a scary amount of power that past dictators could only dream of. And it's getting harder and harder to fight them, especially from a social point-of-view.
