Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.
The issue was choosing a password, which not being a single word, my mom ended up forgetting. That part is security. The privacy part comes with my father arguing that setting a more complicated password is stupid because they have nothing to hide.
Plus he mentioned usage of Google Photos backup system, which in this case wouldn’t really be secured. But he says the photos also aren’t private, because it’s just photos made in public and old photos of me as a kid (which I hoped he lost with his old phone).
