Hello! Thank you for your comment!

Yes, it's very sad to see that people are actually powerless when it comes to the modern age cyber cyclops.

But wait... are they really powerless? Not really actually. It's quite easy even to close google-, Facebook-, Twitter-accounts and adjust some internet usage habits to improve operational security and privacy.

The core issue imho is the fact that people are used to turn a blind eye or to roll eyes when it comes to the latest "glitches", breaches and hacks.

It has become normal for them to accept that especially the big guns in the cyber economy have their breaches, privacy issues, hacks and on top things like Cambridge analytica scandal's.

One has to give 'em that... they did a great job desensitizing the users, regulators and the legislators... Ok, for the latter they additionally fix a lot with some strategically smart placed monetary incentives and compensation.

Btw... in this case, the users that were affected by this "bug" were informed by google via email. Check your "googlemail.com" inbox if there is a mail from google!

Cheers!
Lucky
