> the "the govt/police know everything you do" idea is so commonplace now that people don't care any more. It is indeed sad, I know many non-techy people that are not happy about it, but they feel that nothing can be done so they don't bother, even to try and prevent the spread of their personal information to third, fourth etc parties. It seems people don't want to learn anything from their history lessons, everyone just thinks that oppressive regimes are the past and can not be the future and thats understandable - humanity is generally optimistic as well as suffer from end-of-history illusion, but that doesn't mean it can't show its ugly side once in a while.
