+## The Difficulty of Educating People About Online Privacy

+Anybody who has tried to educate someone about digital privacy issues and
+exploitation of personal data knows that this can sometimes be like bashing ones
+head against a wall over and over. Many people not "in the know", and even some
+self-described "technology enthusiasts" use products such as Amazon's Alexa,
+Facebook, the Google Suite, and more because they make some aspects of their
+lives convenient and, in the case of a home assistant, they can be fun gadgets.
+
+The unfortunate aspect of these devices and services is that you don't have
+control over the data you put into them or how these service providers should
+handle your data. Even if you can "delete a post" or "create a new document", in
+reality you have no clue what these service providers are doing with your data.
+If you're reading this article, you most likely already know this and are aware
+of the dangers that come with service providers like Facebook, Twitter, and
+Google collecting all manner of data on their users.
+
+The difficulty of educating people about online privacy is due to three main
+factors. The first is that people are stubborn. It is very difficult to get
+someone who is set in their ways to change how they think or behave for several
+psychological reasons on which I'm not qualified to comment. The second is that
+many people are completely ignorant as to how the devices they use on a daily
+basis work. Even at a basic level, many people go through life not having any
+clue what the internet actually is and don't care to learn. This leads into the
+third major point: apathy. Lots of people that I have tried to educate about
+online privacy simply do not care to learn or do not care what happens to their
+data. This is probably the most significant barrier to educating someone because
+if someone has no will to change or learn it is impossible for a reasonable
+person to be effective at educating them without being too forceful.
