   @Haydar Let’s do both :) (Of course, they won’t change but they can be forced to comply with the law if we can influence the right laws. Not that I’m hugely confident we can but still…)

     @Haydar Yes and you can be stabbed to death if you're not wearing body armour. And yet we have laws against stabbing people and we treat those who stab others as criminals and understand that the person getting stabbed is the victim here so we don't go around blaming them for not taking steps to ensure their flesh is harder to stab. About time we stopped victim blaming in tech too. The blame here lies with one entity alone: the trillion-dollar faceless corporation we call Microsoft.

     @aral Of course Microsoft is the one to blame. I am not saying, that this is the victim's fault. I'm just saying, everyone should know the risks.

     We can point fingers at all these data harvesting tech corporations, but they will not change. So we must educate the users and inform them about the risks.
