I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

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.

So there's a lot of doom and gloom here, but what do we actually do about it? How do we do it? ~Strawberry
Realistically, the only thing we can do is make sure people understand to a certain extent what privacy they are giving up, what that can mean for them, and what are their options to increase privacy (both practical and advanced, for those that want to know). If they fully understand what it means and they truly don't care about their privacy, there is nothing that can be done.
Though I think most people care about their privacy when it comes to physical privacy. Nobody wants a stranger looking over their should at their phone screen. How many people would care if someone were sitting further with binoculars looking at the screen? Would people not care if they have their physical space, or would people care more about the fact that someone is watching what they're doing? Let's say anytime you got on the subway, it was guaranteed someone was always watching over your shoulder (tbf they might be), would you give up riding the subway? Some might, but I feel like people would make the compromise of their privacy for the convenience of the service. The only realistic way to get them to not take the subway would be to give them a private option that is just as practical. Otherwise, people would often give up the privacy for convenience.
Worry yourself sick. Enjoy nothing.
Well that's not helpful at all. ~Strawberry
Just feels like one or the other when these discussions take place. You're either blissfully ignorant or cutting yourself off from everything and making your experience more difficult for the sake of "privacy," which feels like an illusion anyway.
I've considered taking up woodworking but my fingers are important and my attention span detrimental to my fingers.
