This is not a generational thing. Trying to make it a generational thing is meant to cause divide and deviate discussions about privacy away from the real culprits. Tech megacorporations. Users cannot be held liable for failing to fight indoctrination and propaganda. The proper answer is compassion, education and advocacy. Infighting and arguing only empowers the oppressor. Don't play into their hands by making it a generational thing.

people like money and they will do whatever it takes to get it. regardless of generation.
There is some nuance. Talking someone into or out of anything usually gets pretty easy if you can convince them it's part of thier identity. Generational identity is absolutely a propaganda tool... but once you recognize this, it becomes apparent that it cuts both ways
