Related to this issue, I have a question. How do you convince the "average user" that this stuff matters?
I've had more than one friend tell me "I don't care if Facebook shares my info - I don't do anything that isn't public knowledge anyways." They count ALL of Facebook, including all of the FaceBook apps in this statement. "Find out what star wars character you are", "Share 3 memories of your friend, then ask your friends to do the same for you", etc.
I find this argument is almost, but not quite, like the saying "I don't do anything illegal, so that law/policy/procedure doesn't affect me". Which totally ignores the question of WHY do the authorities need to be able to see my ID on demand, or whatever law/policy/procedure is being discussed.
How do you combat this lack of knowledge and indifference in the general public?
