    Yeah, nope! That would have been a good and fair argument 10 or 15 years ago. But today, these ‘victims’ are volunteers. The information is out there, multiple times per day. In my country we say something that roughly translates to English as ‘if the river sounds, water is running’.

    The noise is there, has been for over a decade. If they choose to remain ignorant and not even try to find out what all the noise is about, that’s on them. And if they do go after the noise to not be caught unaware, and still keep giving out everything to big tech, even worse.

    Having said that, it’s not ‘victim blaming’ when the ‘victim’ is guilty.
