So are free users "the product?" No. If we're going to fix the Internet, there's no point only fixing it for big companies who can pay a lot. That misses the point of the whole adventure. The Internet is for everyone. We have to fix it for everyone, or why bother? We knew we had to design a business model and a technical architecture that removes any incentive to abuse your privacy. - CEO at Tailscale, https://archive.is/R7jqw

Are you sure people who complain about such things are in Tailscale’s target demographic?

Well, if Tailscale is bothering to talk about "architecting our infrastructure with security and privacy in mind", they seem to think so.

The term for this is "victim blaming", and the answer is "no, that shouldn't be necessary".

But that's the reality of the web. We can complain or we can block those things.

And we can call out things, just the same.
