Some will say they care about it, but when threatened with having their social media taken away, they will cave and give the info. Others will say something like “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide”. They still use Chrome and Gmail. They don’t use an ad blocker. They still install apps that request every single permission on their phones. Protecting your privacy online is extremely difficult and most people aren’t willing to do it.

Normies can’t remember things unless they are constantly reminded of it. Most probably don’t even know when these companies get hacked unless it gets talked about on the news. They don’t see the warning emails because it gets lost with all of the spam they get because they use the same email address for everything, same password too so the email account just got hacked too.

Maybe I swallowed too many blackpills but I just don’t see any positive changes regarding this happening any time soon without some new laws being passed, which won’t happen because these companies own every government.

It’s crazy because when I was a child these same people always told me to never tell anyone online my real name, age, or location. Now they are scrolling through facebook all day and constantly telling me to make an account.
