Some people might’ve been doing this internet thing for 30+ years, but not everyone. It may be difficult for people to imagine, but plenty of people young and old are still without any computing device at home.

I have worked with and in proximity to a lot of people who didn’t have the same resources or access as I did, and it really isn’t realistic to expect everyone to be able to monitor every bad thing companies do. That’s a big part of why we have governments and regulations in the first place.

Really unfortunate when we start blaming victims for being less informed. Do people not have older friends or family members who don’t understand what the internet is anymore? I have a few people like that in my life and it makes me sad to hear that people think it’s ok if they’re being taken advantage of. Regardless of if it’s age related cognitive decline, or just a general disinterest in tech news, no one deserves to have their rights infringed upon because our government has bent the knee to a company.

You’re in a .ml community. .ml communities tend to be really pro Russia and anti west. It’s futile to complain about it here, but there are similar communities on other instances that are essentially equivalent but lack the pro Russia anti west angle. I’d recommend checking the other ones out and saving yourself the time arguing with a bunch of .ml users who are into this exact thing.

C/world is on your instance and that might be a good option.
