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.

Nobody making these sorts of arguments is going to go through a list of over a hundred links. What an absolutely ridiculous way to try to convince anyone of anything.
Isn’t that part of the problem? There shouldn’t be that many links. That’s sorta the point.
In reality, if they were all catalogued, there would be hundreds of thousands, maybe millions.
Also: The most important part of this page is the essential reads section. That part doesn’t change.
Whether you read em yourself or send em to your person to read—that’s up to you.
But the point of that is to gather arguments and POVs that you might otherwise miss and apply to your offline life.
I, for example, really like Schneier’s essay. It’s very concise and powerful in translating the “why.”
I sent this to an old family member who doesn’t know the first thing about technology, and they understood it.
If it’s not helpful to you, then it is what it is. Might be to someone else.
