That saying does seem to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, so I look forward in the same way.

I predict that a large swath of the population still won't care much about privacy, or at least take action to protect theirs, but I'm seeing an awakening of people coming to realize how dangerous big tech can become. What's funny to me is if Google wasn't so brazen in ditching their old "don't be evil" pretense, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion as often as we are.

Yeah I think this is the key, privacy online is very abstract. But the sentiment of a large, evil corporation out to get you is somehow less abstract.
