People enjoy the comfort of consistent food and housing. People also enjoy serving their community. Working helps provide that. So for folks to be willing to sacrifice their security and comfort to get to the horizon of the new day with greater leisure time, it can be scary for many. Especially when you have to make a leap of belief that AI is a magic wand changing your world for the better. Is that supported by the evidence? It's quite the leap in belief and life change. Hesitancy seems appropriate to me.
I manage a Digital Literacy Program for seniors. This is a great idea. But for example, most seniors I work with are total beginners. Simply getting to signing up for an udemy course and figuring out player controls on this course are pretty big obstacles.
The long running "Easy Tablet Help for Seniors" is much simpler and free.
Drive your learning is great collaboration between AT&T and Digitunity. I'm uncertain if every course is free but I'm really loving their cybersecurity lessons.

I don't know if it's "Victim Blaming"...I teach Digital Literacy courses for seniors new to technology. While I do set them up with Firefox and Ublock, we generally have them use Gmail as they are all Android Devices. Google sends a confirmation email to walk each one of them through their security settings. Of course most users just ignore this email (like I used to have students do) but now we go through it and uncheck this setting in all my courses, and unpersonalize ads as well. Feel like the most basic user who has even the tiniest concern of data privacy should know how to look at their Google Account settings. These are 80 year olds who don't even know what a "click" is but they know to be skeptical of using Google.
please also explicitly teach folks to re-visit settings frequently; apps/webui's love to change settings, and often opt-in to new "features". one thing i feel is underrated is the frequency at which those settings change on users for the company's benifit
That's why reading before commenting is preferred...there's even a synopsis outlying what the report is though at the link and the second page of the report outlines it as well. So even a cursory glance before commenting would have worked here...
Possibly, but even after knowing what TFA is about, the title still reads the other way. It's an unfortunate thing that the majority of readers of the title will assume it is a breach of Verizon rather than an investigation by Verizon. To not understand this and allow the title to go as is, is just naivete at its finest.
