It is quite interesting that everyone is so alert about privacy now and hates Facebook and Google and just ten years ago people willingly published their address and phone number in a phone book for everyone to see. Also in Germany the cities sell every citizens' personal data and nobody cares. It is quite hipocritical.

Most people didn’t understand why privacy mattered. People are slowly learning the value of privacy through personal experience and the stories of others.
