And they won't -- until it begins gravely-affecting their normal life (eg. food, water, shelter, Kim Kardashian baby news). That's how oppressive regimes maintain control (I am not explicitly saying Obama is an oppressive regime).

And that's where HN readers come in:

We have more knowledge and therefor more responsibility.

It is up to each and everyone of us to educate our families and friends and to effectively migrate them towards complete encryption, on every level.

- OpenPGP for Email - RetroShare for Chat/Messages/File sharing/etc. - Hard drive encryption - etc...
