The reason why this is very important for Hacker News (and my business) is that me and my business depends on "internet" and "cloud". If people starts loosing confidence (i.e., that their data in cloud is mined to find "things"), we will be losing customers, people will be more and more hesitant to use "cloud" and "internet" (especially ones outside US), etc.

Perhaps you should talk to a Canadian then. Very few businesses have accepted "stored in US" data since the patriot act.
As for the people that didn't care before, this changes nothing, really.

Even for those who don't accept it, the fact that so many others do means your data do effectively live in the cloud (at least to a significant extent). Particularly in the case of email. So ... it still matters.
