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.
By changing the framing. Ask about how he’ll feel when (not if) a bad actor gets his info? Steals his identity? Opens a credit card. Takes out a loan. Tanks his credit. His info is all right there conveniently compiled by unknown entities and data gets breached all the time. Enter his info into a website like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and show him just how many times his data has already been compromised without his knowledge. Point out data security isn’t JUST about privacy it’s about DATA SAFETY.
