      Unless there’s a massive data breach which affects them personally - though not sure how that would be.

      The only way to go may be forcing the mega-terch companies to respect user rights, which you’d think would be a joke - and for google/facebook/microsoft that is a joke, though it is interesting that apple introduced that “opt in app do-not-track” thing last year, where facebook shat it’s pants.

    People literally don’t care about their privacy. Anything that is raised regarding tracking is classified as being paranoid and you become a weirdo.
