Interestingly, privacy matters less to "wage-slaves" than to entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs value their reputations more, having to gain approval from strangers more often. Meeting with a customer/VC/bank/mayor/state committee/supplier for the first time? good chance they'll google you.

In a typical corporate desk job, they do some basic checking (arrest record) at hire, then leave you alone.

I'm sorry this doesn't help directly, but it I share it to help interpret the apathy of your typical human. Perhaps if they considered the future when they might be subject to judgment by a group they don't know.

Offtopic but why not call entrepreneurs "revenue slaves" or "investor slaves" if we are going to be fair.
