You're advocating an extreme measure (locking yourself at home) in
response to a practically non-existent threat ("serial killers" do not
roam the streets looking for random victims except in Hollywood
plots). OTOH the chance of an average person being scammed by
corporate data thieves seems less than one in ten, as a total guess.
So surely you see you're making a disingenuous analogy.
Education is a very powerful weapon against the criminality of
Surveillance Capitalism. And it's flexible; people can choose a range
of responses, from pausing before installing a new app, to getting rid
of their smartphone and choosing a better lifestyle.
