Or they do know, but they don’t have the courage (or the sovereignty) to do it.\n\nkissu:\n\n> Still waiting for the lobbies to be broken apart and governments to forbid smoking yes.\n>  Oh wait, it’s legal and advertised? I guess it’s good for kids too?\n\nI would also love for it to be banned.\n\nkissu:\n\n> Defeated the boss with basic logic in 5s\n\nWhat “boss”? I don’t know what you’re talking about.\n\nkissu:\n\n> Education/being knowledgeable is the antidote to fear, maybe?\n\nWho’s going to give them the education? The same adults who are equally or more sick than the adolescent children? I don’t know if you know many others with a lot of knowledge about privacy and computing, but we’re four geeks\n\nSo the problem remains. You talk about education as if adults were educated or, rather, well-educated in political, historical, computing matters, etc., when… let me tell you that’s not the case. So I think we’d do well to think about this whole “educating” thing. Trump became president for a second time in the USA despite supposedly having one of the most educated populations in the world. What happened? Ah, I think social media has something to do with it.\n\nFinally, you can keep your sarcasm to yourself. I find it a bit ridiculous to have to debate like this.\n\nwobbly432:\n\n> In short, when you don’t know a subject, read Wikipedia before posting…\n\nWow! What civility we have here! When some people disagree with your opinion you resort to mockery and dismissiveness. I thought we could debate something but fine. If you want I’ll give you the point, you’ve won.",
