    I agree with you there. If there was a high bar for getting any privacy, I probably wouldn’t have any. Thanks to the many reliable experts willing to share out there lay people like myself can take the common sense measures you mention.

    I am curious if you mean that older folks (who presumably had more privacy before all online data existed or was aggregated) or young people (who presumably are more adept at navigating the systems that they are native to) are more likely to favor privacy?

      I would say older people are more privacy conscious or at least are less willing to trade their privacy for the latest cool app on their phone… but you also got a point that many of them are quite computer illiterate and thus don’t really understand where some of the privacy problems lie.
