> It ought to be up to the individual user to decide their own tolerance for the risk of privacy violations. It's a recurring theme in the modern IT industry that the user can somehow never trusted to take their own responsibility for anything. Like, can I please not have the "added security" on my Android phone where it would sometimes ask me for the pattern instead of the fingerprint? I know my own risks, thank you very much, Google. Same for macOS occasionally making me enter the password instead of letting me unlock with touch ID. Same for a bunch of other random software treating me as a complete technologically illiterate idiot with no way to opt out of this hell. Remember how our devices used to serve us, not the other way around?
