In my opinion, they do care about privacy from people around them like you and me, they just don't seem to care when it's big tech companies like Meta or Google. Like for example, they won't show you or me their "sensitive photos", but it's fully backed up to iCloud or Google Photos, yknow.
They care about visible, or tangible privacy. It's hard for some to grasp internet privacy and why it matters if "you're not doing anything wrong."
But barge into their house at 4am, or open the door while they're in the bathroom, or listen at the door while they're having sex, and you'll get a whole different response.
Ask them about their finances and most people won't talk about it, but they don't realize that facebook and google know all about it.
Exactly. It is not that they don't care about privacy it is just that they trust them because they are the standard, they are big and government is supposed to keep them in check.
People trust the system way too much
it's also that you can't see what google is doing with your photos, so no reasonto be too bothered
