Older people are naive in the meaning of not knowing the implications. their life experience does not hold this lesson of a new envrionment, and learning new stuff is the more difficult the older you are. your brain is against it, and your habits as well.

Younger people have been raised in a climate and sopcial context that taught them not to care. They are used to not caring for these things.

This way, not caring for privacy has become a norm that has conquered the standards silently. In social sience it is called "creeping normality" (schleichende Normalität). Celebs cult and VIP news contribute their share to the degenerating situation. Celebs should be banned from approaching cameras and microphones closer than 1000m. then people would understand all by themselves that there is no such thing as "celebrity people", and that it all is just about dwarfs blown up to hilarious proportions.

that's why in such cases you do not acchieve much by trying to convince people and leave the decision to them. As long as they have not been bitten, they cannot see why they even should want to be careful. If you think about it, it is a typical porblem in our youth years, for all of us. You either set up rules i such cases, or you don't and leave the damage unfolding.
