I had actually noticed that "geeks" are not very different from "normies" when it comes down to being completely naïve about everything.
This also includes people who make (or read about) obviously impossible claims about some technology or protocol and still believe it very sincerely in their hearts.
Did you really think that Amazon was not listening to you before that? Did you really buy an Alexa trusting Amazon to "protect your privacy"?
Recently, I came across a comment on Hacker News where the poster defended Apple as protecting privacy of its users because "They market their product as protecting our privacy".
I mean, once again, come on!
