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.
EVERYONE has stuff to hide.
It may not be illegal, but there are a lot of stuff I don’t want to be public knowledge, as it would be highly embarrassing if they got out.
This is the same for everyone.
Then we need to discuss the illegal stuff, I am talking about stuff you wont even realize is illegal, or things that you did decades ago that is so minor that you never even thought about them.
In my generation, one classic part of growing up was torrenting just about anything you could find. I never considered it illegal at the time, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want the popo start investigating me.
I see it like this, if you have nothing to hide, you can’t be trusted.
As for your father’s misplaced blame, he should be annoyed that neither of you wrote down the password, not that you used a word as a password.
