While I share the sentiment, Normie Norman is not at fault. Meta and other BigCorps are the perpetrators and Norman the Victim.

I have to disagree. He is a fault. Ultimately, you are the only person who really should care about your own security. When you delegate that responsibility, you are still the one who made that choice.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame people for not understanding the subtleties of encrypted communication.

Everyone only has so much attention to give.

Having a mobile phone is necessary to securing employment, shelter and sustenance in many cases, yet somehow it’s an individuals fault for choosing to have a phone account when a pair of multibillion dollar companies breach that data through lax security practices?

True, but you have to admit once you really see Normie Norman you come to understand aristocracy.

At least I do anyway.

Not in the way of a narcissist trying to separate himself from the group, but to see that Norman is very much susceptible to cow-like behaviors you can leverage. That's what I mean by understanding aristocracy. Aristocrat : Rancher.
