I doubt it. Most of the time when I point out to someone just how much data they're giving up the response is just "so what if a chinese person knows about me"
Privacy for its own sake has lost value with the younger generations. What we really need to do is educate on the consequences and dangers of the lack of privacy.
New gen here(19). Care about privacy, while most people i know doesn't. It does not depends on gen. It's just most people of any gen, if they get comfortable with service they would not care if it's gonna take every piece of info they have.
One thing I'm not clear on is how so many people don't care about privacy while mobile operating systems have made permissions labels and privacy controls an important part of the design.
Perhaps it's for the minority of users who are more discerning? Maybe it gives the OS developers something to do?
Potential hot take-- am in my 30s so I dont know if I qualify in your younger generation denotation or not.
I was raised with the thought process of 'act as if you are always on camera' to get me to act right. As I aged, it was amended to 'act as if you are always on camera... because you are.'
Both statements were and remain to be correct. That said, I think there is something to be said about the expectation (or lack thereof) of privacy that the younger generations were raised either in or to know.
I don't think that privacy has lost value through its own or the younger generation's volitions. I think it lost value through... everybody always being watched in one way or another.
This is why it's so completely insane that politicians are on Twitter.
People who are in positions where they could be black mailed should be more careful with the data they give out.
Well, that's a creepy way to go about explaining privacy.
It's a little obnoxious, but it gets the point across.
