>MS found that out with the failed Scroogled campaign which they scrapped after it tanked.

it tanked because it was a terrible campaign not because people don't care about online privacy. The fact that it was MS all of companies running it made it even more terrible.

Do you think that if Mozilla ran a similar campaign it would see more success? Somehow I don't think so.
Considering google was paying mozilla to be the default search engine in firefox, most tech savvy folks would of seen it just as silly.
actually that campaign was a full success - it made MS realize no one cares about privacy, this led to Win10 spying on _everything_
