I think it's important for a small minority of people. Most of the population does not give a second thought, as long as it doesn't affect their lives in an obvious way. Most people are fine sharing their data, if it leads to better more personalized ads, most people gladly share their personal information on social media.

Data privacy is of course very important, but not something the general public is super interested in.

Which begs the question: if the general public is not super interested in data privacy, is it still fair to call it very important?
Is it okay to steal from someone if they never notice?
Who gets to decide what is considered important and what isn't?
Since it's my stuff, I get to decide if it's important or not, don't you ?
