Ben Franklin's phrase seems to be quoted often in this kind of discussion but I haven't seen anyone explain (1) why one thinks he's right; and (2) why that would translate to tech and surveillance.
Or, to be more upfront: I simply don't think blaming individual people (and deciding whether they "deserve" whatever) is very fair or productive.

- whichfawkes 3y agoThe fact is it doesn't matter what people "deserve". People who are willing to forsake some degree of convenience can be granted greater privacy by simply informing them. People who are seeking convenience will always be giving up something else. In this domain, they're often giving up privacy. A lot of people these days are essentially forced to seek convenience. They don't have the time or money to spare to do otherwise.
