The title says it all. Part of what i do now is to convince people to care about their privacy. I know I cannot force people to do anything. And I have a charisma level of -1, if this was an rpg. Like its nonnexistent.

I feel lonely in general because it feels like people make me feel like I’m delusional for caring about protecting my privacy. Maybe there is a support group for that🤣🤣🤣

But anything I can specifically say that works best in planting a seed in people’s mind?

    I typically point to the real world and that seems to work:

    • Your garden has a fence
    • Your windows have curtains so that you close when you switch on the lights inside
    • Your bathroom window uses frosted glass so that you cannot be seen showering from outside
    • You sometimes whisper so that not everyone can hear what you say

    None of them are super safe, but you still follow these precautions. All we ask is to be as careful on the internet.

      Those things are really intuitive, and anyone should be able to understand them. The digital world is completely different and alien, which makes it difficult to think about. People don’t understand it, so they can’t be expected to have a rational opinion about it.
