My point is that they're not even aware of how things work and therefore are not at all in a position to comprehend what the risks really are, let alone make sensible decisions.
The flaw in your reasoning is linking behaviour to knowledge. Just because people are behaving in a certain way doesn't mean that they are fully aware of the consequences of those actions. When it's only a small part of your life, it has little impact but when you suddenly realise a large chunk of your life depends on those choices it can be a bit of a shock (consider all the celebrities who had private images leaked recently).
- quesera 12y agoThe low-information customer you're describing is a totally different animal than the person we're discussing here. I agree with you as far as it goes, but OP is a security-conscious developer. Jennifer Lawrence has a different problem. Apple can't really help her either.
- amirmc 12y agoPer your original comment, we're only discussing two types of people.
- quesera 12y agoPithy, but incorrect. I said there are two kinds of people. This is superficially true of any binary criterion. I was only discussing the kind of which the OP is a member. The existence of that other, much larger, group is a very different problem to solve. Important, but not relevant for OP.
