I agree that it's unlikely to fix the problem in its entirety, but I'm a bit short of easy fixes and I still think it's an important thing to do. And, although it's a politically fraught area, I'm pretty adamant that we should not always conflate explaining the world's hazards with blaming people for shitty stuff that happens to them.
Indeed, it is a very important thing to include a mature explanation of privacy and it's importance in education. What I meant was that this is not going to fix this problem. We need to figure out ways to stop the misuse of user data.
