There's no need to turn everything into a genration war. Computer literacy and a sense for maintaining privacy comes and goes with different groups of people depending on their upbringing. The ones who cared about their privacy to the point that they would refuse cookies on every site are definitely not the ones who roll over and let the AI agents access all of their data. A lack of good education and deliberate influence of the advertisement and tech industry has led us to this point and snarky flamebait on twitter isn't getting us anywhere.
I agree. Op reasoning is flawed in many ways: both the relation to generations, and the assumption that people who do x are destined to do y.
The most infuriating part of this statement is the supposed relation to generations. It is yet another discriminatory behaviour which usually goes under the radar. Just like it happens within sexism, op has needlessly correlated things to age.
Also, silicon valley must be turned into a radioactive wasteland. California's average habitability will be improved.
But it makes it easy to understand through the lense of our existing prejudices!
