I know data privacy is important and I know that big corporations like Meta became powerful enough to even manipulate elections using our data.
But, when I talk to people in general, most seem to not worry because they “have nothing to hide”, and most are only worried about their passwords, banking apps and not much else.
So, why should people worry about data privacy even if they have “nothing to hide”?
I’m not sure what kind of background you have. Sure that movie is complex things ‘dumbed down’. It’s a movie. Them framing the story to make it thrilling and whatever, doesn’t automatically debunk the facts i just told. I should stop with the examples.
What’s the difference between your “pursuing engagement” and my “get people addicted”. Fact is they carefully design apps to make them engaging. Play a tiktok video just in the right moment to keep you scrolling. sometimes even videos you dislike to invoke feelings. invent karma to keep you invested in your account. fine tune gameification to give rewards to your brain in exactly the right moments to keep you either engaged or buy in-game currency.
You’re allowed to submit to that.
There’s a lot of dumb people.
And lots of the psychological tricks and methods are designed to be subtle enough to go unnoticed and not interfere.
I’m sorry. I’m more interested in a debate based on facts, not accusations. You keep dropping two thirds of the argument, debunking one thing with something that’s besides the point, and then calling me things that aren’t true either. Have a nice day.
(Edit: Thanks for the article on the social dilemma, though. i genuinely was unaware people hold that view on that movie. it’s been some time and i don’t recall all of the story, maybe i didn’t take things face value and thought everyone knew where they stretched the facts. i think i’m going to reconsider and stop recommending that one. I’m not saying i agree 100% to those articles, but there is some merit to this.)

And what about all the other arguments?
Habits and addictions are not the same thing, which is clearly discussed in the articles I linked that I am now very aware you didn’t read.
Perhaps instead of asking me for arguments, read the shit I posted?
