I don’t talk about privacy with normies. If they bring it up, I’m happy to discuss. I think privacy is very slowly becoming more mainstream and a large part of that is thanks to google. Installing “ai” on devices, deleting peoples’ accounts, making installing non-play store apps more difficult, will ultimately encourage more people to degoogle their lives.

Idk why tf they’re so hell bent on AI, I get that they need a return on their shitty investments but my god the level of detachment from the general public is insane

It’s interesting working in the field as a non technical. We talk all day about data security but my homelab has more observability than half the enterprises I speak with. And they all know. And they never have the budget. It’s literally the first scene of fight club all day erryday in infosec. If the cost of the recall is less than the prevention, not worth it to them.

Yeah no, “normies” love AI everything. They definitely don’t install apps from outside the Play store either. Only thing that bug them from this list is the deletion of accounts. Unfortunately they’ll happily hand over ID and other things to get it back, or just create a new account on the same site. Source: Experience.
