Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.


I usually answer that with some version of “OK, do you mind if I put cameras all over the inside of your house and have my neighbor watch the feed?
I ask them if they have curtains.
This is what I do, along with ‘okay, unlock your phone and hand it to me’. Less often the second because if someone complied I would really not want to actually go through all their personal stuff, feels gross
