      there’s also this attitude that certain users never did anything wrong. YouSureAboutThat.jpg

      They never signed up for anything that compromised their privacy?

      Also, we all live in abodes with wooden doors and glass windows that anyone with a rock or a stick can break into. Doesn’t mean we deserve to be murdered in our sleep.

      The fact that big companies collect and sell your data is common knowledge now, definitely not something esoteric that only people in privacy-conscious bubbles know of. However, “normal” people refuse to not follow every trend or get inconvenienced.
