Privacy Violations: Pollution of the Digital Revolution

While researching this, I came across some interesting media of the innovations of the industrial revolution. This youtube video shows off fly shuttle weaving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khiEAEqdkZY

I'm curious about people's ideas on what a Big Stink might be with regards to privacy violations. Other than Facebook being hacked, what types of breaches would prompt widespread outcry?

I'm not sure if Facebook hacked can be any more of a privacy violation than Facebook working as designed.

I guess the main difference would be coverage in media. Even if users wouldn't 'loose' more than they normally do their information would be 'lost', 'hacked' and 'stolen'.

It's an interesting distinction though, since the governments would probably be forced to act on behalf of user privacy if information appear to have been 'lost' rather than 'sold'. Would probably be the start of the privacy equivalent of the Great Stink.
