Oh you think?
Yea.
I try, but at this point I think it might be too late. I've been on the internet pretty much my whole life and didn't realize how big of a deal privacy was until I was in my 30s.
These products - Googles convenience products as well as the Social Media shite - were introduced gradually at the time. The single steps people took towards using these products seemed innocuous. Before you know it, your whole life is enmeshed in a privacy nightmare and the convenience and quality you were used to is gone. It's like buying an apartment in a nice place of town and then within the next two decades the area turns into a shady ghetto slum.
Lack of privacy is an implication of giving away control of social interactions.
