Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.
Privacy is important so that nefarious individuals don’t steal your identity, and everything you worked hard for, in your lifetime.
If they have nothing to hide ask for all of the following; all passwords, to everything (internet, bank, shopping accounts, investments, etc.) Bank statements Tax returns Get a set of keys for their homes, cars, businesses, etc. Remind them that you will be allowed to come over at any hour of the day or night and look through every nook & cranny of their property. If someone really is an open book, let the snooping begin. And also remind them that you will share whatever information you feel like with anyone you choose to, publicly.
Privacy prevents people from being abused, stalked and taken advantage of. Privacy is a form of personal security. That’s why we lock the doors at night.
