10 year old survey, but it seems the data disagrees with your perception. I'd imagine since then awareness has risen massively, so if anything people would likely be more concerned today.

It's sadly the opposite; It's so normalized that a whole generation was born into it and don't even see anything wrong about it.

All a lot of them see is how Google is giving them "free services" and how Facebook allows them to make "free friends", and then they declare; That's the web, and that's how the web has always been and how it should be.

And who can blame them; They never knew any other web than the glorified digital mall [0] it has mostly become.
