The vast majority of people do not care. Politicians will say this is to stop pedophiles, and if you speak up against surveillance, you’re labeled as a pedophile and ignored.

Plus, let’s be real, end to end encryption doesn’t exist if you’re using any sort of pre-built app. It’s encrypted-looking to most people, but the people who matter always get back door access.

Don't care or don't perceive the threat clearly?

Why do you think this is the case? I know for a fact (with a reasonably high level of confidence) this is not so.
