I think that most people implicitly assume that their communications are private.

Mass surveillance is an open secret that is easier on the senses to ignore.

Ignorance can be combatted with information. But now there's a "war on information" with companies like facebook (in true comedic fashion) being the arbiter of "truth". Facebook, one of the biggest players in the mass surveillance game.

The business model is validated because of ignorance. Most people have no idea what pixel tags are, for instance, yet the web is oozing with them. When given the option, people prefer not to be surveilled. It is more or less inhuman to want to be watched surrepticiously. We call that stalking.
