I'll reiterate a point I believe to be true.

I don't think it's a case of the public not really caring about their privacy, I think it's a case of them not fully understandind exactly what data is collected on them and how it can be used nefariously by companies and by their government.

We in the tech field tend to have an above average knowledge of these things but Joe Public is very ignorant of it.

I believe if people knew exactly what was being collected and how profiles of their entire lives, their thoughts, their actions and their potential thoughts and actions, they would be a lot less happy about it.

The problem is educating people who probably already have enough shit to think about in their own lives and convincing them that this isn't all conspiracy theory.

It's a monumental task.
