    I’m not blaming the victim, the employee did act like an ass. All I’m saying is the victim did not take safety precautions people should take regardless of whether they are trading in their phone or not. If that is victim blaming then I’m victim blaming everyone who has no common sense regarding privacy and mindfull use of electronics.

      “I’m not victim blaming”

      Proceeds to keep victim blaming

      Regardless of the fact that people just forget things sometimes, expecting people that just want a phone to know how to do a factory reset simply isn’t reasonable.

      You and I wouldn’t trade it in without wiping it, probably, but we’re mega nerds on the Fediverse. These things seem obvious to us but they simply aren’t that important, or common knowledge, to normal people.

      There is, and there only ever is, one person at fault when trust is violated. That there are safeguards you can take is a different discussion.
