Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.
Once scammers get your phone number you’ll learn to hate the sound of your ringtone. Once scammers get your email your inbox will be flooded with phishing. Once they get one of your passwords, you better hope you haven’t used the same one somewhere else. If they get access to any embarrassing photos you can expect an uncomfortable ransom request. You never really know how they’ll use your information against you but you can sure as hell bet that they will.
And those are just the illegal threats. The legal ones are worse imo.
