This sort of paternalism by “elites” who are “enlightened” and “know better than the proles” is why there is a global pushback against elitism. If people feel like they need this information to protect themselves or their businesses, however misguided, who are you to tell them otherwise?

> If people feel like they need this information to protect themselves or their businesses The "people" you are referring to here are the "elites." Conservatives adopting left-wing rhetoric has confused everybody for some reason. The people who own everything and can keep you from working, attending school, or having a place to live are the elites. > who are you to tell them otherwise? The person who the information is about. It's worth making an argument as to why that person shouldn't have a say, instead of railing against the "elites."
