Privacy

It's the same kind of ppl in each generation that perpetuates enshitification. There are asshole CEOs in every generation, even gen z and alpha, and they'll be selfish pricks just like their predecessors. There are ignorant consumers who care to feel far more than to think, just like previous generations.

A cross section of the population shows more meaningful differences and similarities across generations than there is between them. Young ppl don't want to listen to their elders and elders understand how foolish the young are. If y'all looked across generations for direction from the ppp like you across generations, you wouldn't get so fucking manipulated by marketing and media that you think our problems are generational instead of class or character. It keeps us all divided and struggling while they steal everything and commit a wealth based genocide.

Don't take cookies from strangers.

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.

I'm pretty sure the Venn diagram of "refuses cookies" and "refuses AI" is a circle.

Which generation refused cookies?
I feel like most look at me like I'm crazy, regardless of age, when I deny/only accept the functional cookies on sites every single visit.

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.

Which generation is that lol?

I'd rather say the same people who rejected cookies are also rejecting AI, no?

I don't know, I have an extension that refuses cookies.

This makes life safer and easier.

Please stop with the generational strife nonsense. It only serves as an attempt to distract from class war. We are all in this together against the rich bastards, regardless of our age.

Bold words from someone on X

gen x here. I still refuse cookies. I also refuse AI.

most the people I see promoting AI are millennials and gen z.

🤷 whatever though, nobody will listen to me anyway.

What generation is that???
