The youths literally do not care from what I observe.

How many people under 25 do you interact with on a day to day basis?

There are bubbles, you are obviously in one if you do not know any privacy concerned under 25. I know 15 year olds who are extreme privacy freaks, then I care about it so it might be easier to find those people. I do find that it is the people that I think are least likely are the one who are the most extreme.

You make a good point. I know a couple in there late 20s with kids who are pretty apathetic about their own privacy but who refuse to let Google or iCloud sync photos of their kids.

Don't forget the older people, many of whom gladly use Facebook or WhatsApp without a second thought.

Us HN weirdos are some of the last who care, and even we disagree on which tech is creepy. Hard to blame the average Joe for giving up.

I'm pretty sure they care who takes pictures or videos of them. Try going on a train and taking pictures of a young woman or man. The only difference is these are less noticeable.

> and even we disagree on which tech is creepy.

I think this is a huge point of constant bickering here. Makes it impossible to take most privacy centric discussion seriously.

On the other hand, EVERY young person in my circle (my kids and their friends) is insanely privacy aware. All of that means ... we're not part of the young people anymore?

I know about 20 and 2 of them are without socials and even smartphones. Its a counterculture

HN is an echo chamber who can't imagine not using some tech. Normal people can...
