The problem is that the users truly don’t understand how terrifying the data is.

End, it seems impossible to educate them on it .

Nobody wants to believe that they can be manipulated as easily as they actually can be, especially with a bunch of inside information that you don’t think is relevant.

Everyone wants to believe that they are freethinkers and make decisions themselves without “Google bias” and subtle manipulation.

I honestly have no idea how to fight that and it terrifies me
