I want to believe this, but I just can't see people caring, ever. The worst has already happened. Edward Snowdon has exposed that government can, and does, look at you penis and we still don't care.
- Estragon 11y agoLooking at your penis is hardly the worst that can happen. People will really start to care when the data is used for a violent crackdown of a popular domestic political movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Raids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Raids
- mineshaftgap 11y agoWell we are coming up on the hundred year anniversary of that so it could happen. I try to get my grandma to use encryption but she won't.
- XorNot 11y agoOr you know, maybe they'll care about the violent crackdown part? What is it about technology where people think the failure was information, not the bunch of dudes cracking you in the head with rifle butts, the legislators who approved the action and the public which votes them into office (including all the people who say they're so outraged with everything they'll just refuse to vote or engage with the political process - because yeah, that's sure showing them).
