@brasshopper@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I’m of this mind too. I don’t think it’s that people don’t care. I think it’s that people have other, more important things to care about, that they don’t know enough to know the dangers involved, and even if they did they wouldn’t know what to do about it anyway. So they choose to put it aside, which is a fairly rational choice under those assumptions, if you think about it. What possible reason would someone have to care about slowly losing their rights because of Facebook’s lousy policies when they are spending all their time working, raising kids, caring for loved ones, worrying about COVID, worrying about inflation, etc etc etc? It’s too abstract, too far away, too easy to ignore. If we want them to care, we are obligated to teach them what’s at stake and help them see why they should care (and also not judge them if they decide not to care, because that’s part of it too–paternalistically dictating to people what they should and shouldn’t is no good)
