Its hard to maintain because most people have to give something up in order to get the privacy they want. 99% of the users these days don't care about privacy. Privacy is a "boomer" thing.
Its not hard when you have literally generations of technological knowledge at your fingertips and still want something automated to do all of this for you, without any compromises on your own part - which inevitably leads to:
> We've become such a lazy society
THAT is a terrible take? Putting some onus on the user to get out of their lazyboy chair and do some research?
And your conclusion to OP talking about users taking some actual responsibility for their own privacy is this:
> If you don't agree, are you knocking on doors and teaching your neighbors how to manage their security? I hope you've got a lot of patience.
Seriously. Thanks for confirming OP's point:
> We've become such a lazy society

What was implied in my previous comment is that someone who doesn't know anything about digital privacy and security can't be called lazy for not investing in it. And lots of people know very little about it. "Society is lazy" is in fact a lazy excuse to wash one's hands of a problem and pretend they're better than other people.

Sorry... I have literally no idea what the point you're making here is. Is it hard or easy? Do people want meaningful privacy or do they not?
