You never had any fucking freedom in regards to these services. The article is a bug-scare and is just trash. You might as well rail against their requirements to include numbers and special-characters in passwords–“oh, that’s infringing on my freedoms! Just yesterday you accepted my password of “password”, but now it’s no longer acceptable? Wow fascism! Telling people they need to have numbers and special-characters! This is a slippery slope. People rise up and don’t put any numbers or special-characters in your passwords!” I can’t deride enough the point of view that originated this article. It’s the most brain-dead boomer point of view I’ve yet seen. An epitome of manchild that’s endemic to tech.
