I don't think it is just within the tech bubble... here in the UK for example it is now mainstream news on a weekly basis.

It's at the tipping point where grandparents are starting to talk about the "snooping" and data gathering of Facebook.

Indeed, I've had almost strangers at the bar even start to talk about how bad facebook is now. I don't ever remember this happening before. I don't think its just in the tech bubble, this definitely appears to me to be outside the tech bubble now. I also notice people texting more often lately in my friend groups. It definitely feels more mainstream.

'... here in the UK for example it is now mainstream news on a weekly basis.'

Well mainstream news 'in the UK' seems to focus on most things that are not in the UK, so no surprises there.
