What this video covers
Privacy zuckering tricks users into sharing more than they intend by defaulting settings to 'share', hiding private options behind confusing language and extra clicks. Named after a certain founder, it assumes consent without ever asking for it.
With the zuckered defaults you were sharing all five things before you'd touched a thing - because nobody changes defaults, and these were all set to "on". Flip to honest defaults and you share nothing until you choose to. Same controls, opposite starting point - and the starting point is the whole game.
