      Probably the same. This bears repeating: All your information online is and always has been available for others to collect and see, from FBI to advertisers. If you want any amount of protection, it must be with E2E encryption for which you own the keys.

      We taught online safety in the 90s. Did we all just collectively forget this in the last two decades?

        All of those people signed up for Facebook and thought their data was private because they marked their page private. While they post with their real name. With a company that will collect your data and do whatever the fuck they want with it.

        Yeah pretty much. As soon as facebook broke the ice on “never use your real name on the internet” it was over. Now we have entire generations that were introduced to the internet as one that was ruled by social media sites. They were never even taught the same online safety stuff that we grew up with.

        They stopped teaching about computers. I tutored high schoolers about 10 years ago and they didn’t know how to use computers fluently. It moved to the realm of expecting parents to teach to their kids along with taxes and career planning.

        Speaking of which, I grew up in the 90s pre Internet, and started using the Internet in middle school. Definitely never got any official Internet safety lessons. Maybe I was a little too early? Idk. But by the time I was 30 schools were not teaching this at least from what I saw

        • The other day, I spoke to an 18 year old who didn’t know the difference between “copy and paste” and “cut and paste”. I want to know what the hell they’re doing in IT classes. Do they just assume that kids these days are good at tech because it’s so ubiquitous? Because that’s a dangerous assumption
