You don't have to be tech literate to know that the man spies on you. Hell you don't even need to be literate.
I worked in construction about a decade ago when the Snowden thing was big and I asked a construction worker with a grade 10 education from a rural part of Canada what he thought of it and he chortled before saying 'of course they're spying on us. They've always been spying on us.'
Meanwhile I have a friend who is a lawyer for the federal govt and this guy just can't seem to grasp anything regarding privacy law and why people care about itm. Meanwhile he's flabbergasted that Madison Square Gardens has the technical means and gall to kick out any lawyers tenuously related to legal action against them.
At some point people are responsible for their level of ignorance. I dont know where that point is but I'm sure that it exists.

The article is about __HOW__ the man spies on you. > At some point people are responsible for their level of ignorance Sure, but my point is that we shouldn't enable that ignorance by making people feel stupid for not already knowing. That's not helpful to anyone involved. I'd explicitly consider this a worse position, which is why I'm complaining.
