This meme needs to die of old people not understanding tech and privacy ramifications. Privacy is a concern for all generations, and you only have to look at history to know privacy’s importance. (Stasi anyone?). Branding all older generations as not ‘with it’ is ageist and counterproductive. If any generation is more concerned about digital rights and freedom it’s the older generation. Kids these days are feeding from the trough of surveillance capitalism and are sleepwalking into an Orwellian nightmare.
