I don't see it that way, we are all ignorant in one or another subject, it is not to be blamed, but a task for those who are aware of this problem to spread it, to warn of these practices that in real life would have already caused a revolution, for example when a postman opens and reads our mail, before delivering it to us, because this is exactly what Google does with Gmail users, or that advertising companies install cameras in your home and agents that follow us everywhere on the street, to spy on us and offer us products that correspond to our daily customs. This is exactly what the practice of surveillance advertising means that they use to earn money and that in my opinion is a crime and a clear violation of the basic rights of the user. Mentioning this and trying to spread it is of the utmost importance and has nothing to do with blaming the unwary who are not aware of the problem, it is shaming and denouncing the companies that use these practices.
