That’s the point: Nobody thought about it more than five minutes. We were kids, teenagers. We had other stuff in our minds:D As an adult, living in times where stuff like this is reported on a daily basis, well yea now it’s obvious.

Even as a kid I got this. How you didn’t is beyond me. First rule: never real information on the internet.

It was 2006 when face book launched to everyone. People had been online for years. Everyone knew the consequences of online handles, stalkers, privacy, personal identifiable info.
Corporations and online businesses were not to be trusted, that also was obvious.
But people, by and large, are morons so here we are.

Everyone did not know. What is obvious is that everyone still does not know!
Maybe you can use your superior intelligence and foresight to help educate instead of calling massive swathes of people morons for not knowing something?
People aren’t morons for not knowing something that is only “obvious” to autistic techies who instantly think through the ramifications of entire systems. Most people’s brains don’t work like that and calling them morons won’t help anything.
What will help is education - which takes a lot of patience, effort, time and kindness. Have you really got what it takes to make any difference or are you perfectly content with just feeling superior to everyone?
