I disagree. I think most people just want to view cat memes and connect with their friends online. If the cost of that is their privacy, so be it.

At the end of the day, I think privacy loss will have to have a materially negative impact on people's lives before they start to care enough to change their behavior. Right now, the only material negative impact requires what I would characterize as fear mongering.

Reminds me of that video where Jamie Oliver showed a group of kids the rather disgusting process for making chicken nuggets, and all the children were appropriately disgusted, but when he asked the kids afterwards who wanted to eat some of the chicken nuggets, they all wanted to eat the nuggets.
