Hmm,
I can't help but feel, uh, angry, at experts - Wong or Zuckerberg or whoever - who claim that no cares about privacy, they just "think they care about privacy". When employers, potential employers and potential-stalkers are all actively Googling people, a large portion of the population should care about privacy. I'd say the opposite is true to Wong's glib statement - the people will care more and more about privacy as they learn all the implication.
Anyone who's vulnerable in one way or another will care about privacy - the simplest examples are employees who's job situation is insecure and women and children who might face threats from stranger. Anyone that a state might look askance at would another example (and it's not just the US state).
