Not a single friend or family member gives two shits about privacy. When I tell them about what companies know about them and what they do with that information, it’s kind of like a vegan telling a meat eater where their meat comes from. Like “wow that sounds bad but I’m not willing to make any changes”. The only difference is that instead of animals being a product, this time they are the product.

The effective way to combat this is to pull their information from data brokers and tell them everything you know. Then they feel violated, as they should.

They’ll blame you and never put two and two together though.

Haha, that doesn’t sound super effective though.
