- Koremat6666 7y agoThere is nothing wrong in being ignorant if the efforts to get rid of that ignorance outweigh the benefits for most users. My mother spends 15 minutes on internet talking to me and watching youtube. She does not care if advertisers know her age and location.

Even when made aware of the potential consequences, people do not choose to pay significantly more for equivalent products with better privacy protection. "Everybody is just ignorant" is not a good way of evaluating markets.
