People always say shit like this as if people don't have a multitude of different life circumstances that affect and coerce how they interact with technology. That's just how capitalism works. It's not a matter of willpower. Privacy Bootstraps Theory is unhelpful. Being able to completely opt out of entrenched tech monopolies is a privilege. It's great that you can do that, not everybody can.
