Equifax. The Uber God mode. Cambridge analytica.

Any one of these on its own should be enough but i'm not convinced the average person on the street could tell you what the deal was with any of these scandals.

None of those things had meaningful impact - either at scale or in newsworthy level awful for a smaller group... without that, the story wasn’t sticky and didn’t scare the masses.

E.g.: When a wave of echo users are blackmailed after their private conversations or sexcapades are snooped on, then you’d see outcry.
