I have found this logic fallacy many times. "There is not need to fight for privacy, because that ship has already sailed", "There is no need to fight against recall because big tech already harvest data about you."

Does that mean we should not care about our data, and expose every bit and piece to the system? Should we max out data exposure, or still fight against it?

Where did I say that?

1) I said that users care about the benfits provided to them more than the security/privacy they give up and can see that from practical history.

2) I questioned the value of recall and asked is what one gives up worth that value

3) I compared to browser history and even provided a mechanism to get some of the value without giving up privacy.
