Your specific cognizance of the case, and how it came to your attention, is orthogonal to the broader cultural forces in play.

The intent of my question was to ask for clarification if the OP thought that this was going be a watershed moment.
My comment regarding the position of this story in the news cycle was only meant to be relevant to the question of whether the OP felt that this case was going to be a catalyst, nothing more.
It was in no way meant to trivialize the importance of the case. That's an assumption you made, incorrectly.
It was not meant to be a commentary on the importance of privacy or the importance of the conversation surrounding privacy which is something I care deeply about.
Incidentally, what are the "broader cultural forces at play"? That's a pretty nebulous if not completely banal statement.
I am not following your suggestion that this article is indicative of disinterest. Are you suggesting that this is a really big news story or that this case might be a watershed moment? Because I don't see that. In fact I have had NPR on all day so far and haven't heard this mentioned.
