Nah. It took a whole bunch of incompetent users who gave away their integrity for a few likes and pet videos.

Pretty much same thing as complaining about bad leaders when the sheeple putting in the bad votes is the actual problem.

While you're sitting on the Internet angry about their incompetence they're in bed with their partners laughing at cats.

Who really is the loser here.

Those who don't plaster their personal information also do the same. However, most cannot help but fall for the bait and switch of giving up info they never even knew was collected. Most people aren't even aware of EXIF, the difference between a User and a User-Agent, the multiple layers of attempts by organizations to assign unique identifiers to every entity they interact with, or the fact that society at one point pulled a total 180 on the idea of discretion in business whereby it became okay and commonplace to plaster information about your customers to other entities.

This was a very disjoint cultural shift in from the research I've done, and it was really pushed by only a handful of big names.

Damn I need to increase my cat watching time.
