the generation of kids trained in schools to be used to omnipresent surveillance and data harvesting are now in the workforce, they see no issue with this because they've grown up with it. I see kids on the internet now under 20 who believe that not volunteering your name, age, location, private health information, is "secretive", "deceptive", and cause for suspicion. If you don't stamp these things in your bio, you've obviously got something to hide.

I remember when we were all laughing about that "elf on the shelf" toy and how it was pushed so hard to get kids used to "santa" always watching their every single move even if nobody is in the room, and that there's nothing they can ever do to avoid his judgement at his own discretion and to just accept it because everyone is fine with it and you're crazy and silly and paranoid and clearly hiding something "naughty" if you resist it. Obviously I can't attest to this, but it's funny how that worked out
