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 to explain why privacy is important?

I've tried the escalation method, where the lack of privacy gets worse: at times like that there is a cut off, but a lot of people will allow almost anything.
My daughter hesitated when i asked her if she'd be okay with some random scuzzy looking border patrol person going through her phone, maybe taking down her address, maybe copying some of her photos of herself and her girl friends, maybe accessing her facebook etc.
Hesitation: i think she got something to think about. Just got to keep working on her. It's a strange new generation.
(speaking of new generation, my wife says that the kids at her school think nothing of dropping a half eaten sandwich on the floor... they say they're providing a job for the janitor.... i say, "Wow... can i spank the kid?"
