Is it? Theres only a small slice of people who are knowledgeable. A lot of people growing up nowadays/past few years have absolutely 0 knowledge of how to use tech unless its an app.

Case in point, all the comments here defending the company and saying the ruling is incorrect.

Would you have preferred some proprietary source code instead? Or perhaps a dump of their users PII? I'm all for computer literacy but some of these comments are sensationalist. This is the same generation mining cryptocurrency and influencing stock markets as retail investors. Proponents for fixing climate change. An electorate with the highest voter turnout in the history of the country. Wouldn't write them off easily.

They are too busy doom scrolling on tiktok to learn valuable skills. :)

No, they just aren't taught anymore because "oh they've grown up with tech, they know what they are doing"

I dunno, I'd rather explain how to install an AdBlock to the younger folks than a 60+ year old.

My cousin who grew up with this has Asperger's Syndrome and is still significantly easier to explain tech to than... basically anyone that's 50+.

So while I get the hate that's, I truly suspect is jealousy or something, it's simply just not the case.

When it comes to tech, I'll gamble with the younger folks over the older folks who specifically refuse to learn it (e.g. practically all politicians).
