Most people don’t change the most basic settings. If asked simply if they want to be tracked they’d say no, but not everyone has energy to fight every battle. In fact, no one does, you and I included.
When we dismiss problems as “easy to solve” or “no big deal” or “not much hassle” we effectively directly support the world becoming worse because in every other area where enthusiasts say the same thing and you are affected you’re getting fucked. When everyone does this, this apathy epidemic fucks us all.
Just cause it doesnt affect you, doesnt mean it wont eventually have an effect on you.
Lots of people shrugging their shoulders and going “Why should I care about spying? I’ve got nothing to hide” are exactly why we are where we are right now.
