I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy. (lemmy.world)

In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

Yes, there are many things that people should be taught at school. Technology is just one area. All of the things you said are also very important, but it doesn't make what I said invalid.

Knowing marketing, for example, wouldn’t cause someone to be fooled to the point of saying something like this:

But they should know what cryptocurrencies and AI are, since those technologies are slowly becoming a part of our lives.

Fooled by what exactly? A distributed ledger or machine learning? I think it's a simple fact that those technologies are becoming more popular.

You make it sound like the problem is technology.

The post is about privacy and software. It's important for people to be educated in other areas as well, but they weren't the topic of this discussion. So there was no point for me to mention them.

You’re focusing on a single channel of abuse.

I make software, so I talk about software. I'm not an expert in the other areas that you mentioned.

You're so close, and yet so far, from grasping the point with this pair of sentences.

Ah, I see. So you are an expert in psychology, marketing and statistics. That is truly amazing. It's completely irrelevant to the topic of our discussion (which is about privacy and software), but very cool.
