Ordinary people, particularly young people, clearly care far, far, far, far, far less about privacy than you think. The average middle-class ten year old literally has more pictures of herself than the number of days she's been alive, and an enormous number of those pictures are already online. Moreover, she's constantly putting more and more of her life online.
If anything, I think people want to have more of the interesting parts of their lives be more public (in other words, they want to be "famous", whether just among their friends or on a bigger stage). They do want many things to be "private" in the sense that they don't want certain people to see certain things online. But I think we're deluding ourselves if we think they care at all about the fact that google is scanning their emails or search history, or that twitter is mining their tweets, or that snapchat is using their location data.
