In privacy, we talk a lot about how to protect our own data, but what about our responsibility to protect the data of others? If you care about privacy rights, you must also care for the data of the people around you. Together, we must start building a culture of data privacy where everyone cares for the data of others.
@leo85811nardo @neme That’s the maddening thing about all this. Everyone who installs a Meta app on their phone is giving information about all of their contacts to Meta to abuse without permission from those contacts. Same for so many others. I don’t even want to think about what X may be doing by this point.
And you try to tell such people “you know this thing is bad and collects data it shouldn’t be allowed to, right?” They’ll say “I know” and then keep using it anyway. I wish there was a way to get them to understand that it’s the digital equivalent of having cameras installed in their bathroom or something and not just their own bathroom, but another pointed outward, zoomed in on their neighbors’ bathroom windows.
