It really does seem that personal responsibility is a dirty word these days. Whether it comes to being able to critical review some news/social media someone has read online or maintaining the computer in your pocket.

I wonder if it's an off-shoot of the concept of 'victim blaming', meaning it's not allowed to lay the responsibility for someones actions on them, there should be safeguards that prevent someone from making a mistake in the first place, even if it's at the expense of people who know that they're doing. I haven't fully fleshed out in idea in my head yet.
