The reason that people get screwed over in this way is because we, who
understand about privacy and understand how to deliver it, did not make
it a priority.
Are we talking about the same people who:
- sign up for so-called "social networks"?
- post all kinds of details about themselves on same?
- use mail clients that are web-enabled?
- use smartphones and install a plethora of
apps whose privacy policies boil down
to "we collect everything and do whatever
we want with it"?
- &etc.?
The aggregate intelligence that I can acquire on people by examining their
email headers going back 20 years is vastly less than the aggregate
intelligence collected by any of the above. And by "vastly" I mean
"orders of magnitude".
