SoylentNews is people

Journal by Gaaark

My daughter was telling me about an app that day-cares and schools use to send photos of kids to 'helicopter' and panic parents and I tried explaining why that was a security issue:

How do you explain to people who don't realise the problem that there IS a problem.

I've tried using the Jewish registration at the Nazi police stations (what, 1939ish?).
I've tried hacker data stealing.
Data collection of kids through adulthood.....

What is a good argument to use against "App! Facebook! Wow! If you don't do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about"?

Anyone got a good speal?

    how about we the adults instead of trying to teach our children how its supposed to be done, show them how its going to be done? "i,m too far gone" so ill sit here and teach my kids to do what i should have done......

    ummm say what? our words arentgoing to teach our children to stand up and say no to the easy way. you people really want back privacy for your kids? this is it right here me and you fight together right now. its the only way to teach them is by showing them.

    yes thats the hard way because that would require we as parents start doing something. it alsomeans that if the companies we work for and our government ignore our demands, that we open arms. and then things really get berzirk. are we willing to die for our freedom?

    are you willing to get your knee caps blown off one at a time for keeping a secret for not telling your enemy where your teamleader keeps your neighborhood supplies? you have to mentaly prepare for that and why? all we have to do is sit here and complain about it on the internet and we have done our jobs as parents, avoided civil war and hope that our children will have bigger balls than us.
