Sure; I signed the pledge. I've asked about companies' privacy policies, data retention and security policies during the course of interviewing. I've told recruiters the reason I am not interested in a company is because of their approach to privacy. I've discussed the implications of data collection and data management with colleagues at companies that collect lots of it.
At the last company I worked at I promoted the use of HTTPS everywhere, when we had more pressing feature work to do. I shamed someone who shared around that a famous customer had signed up, and made it clear internally that we shouldn't be looking at or commenting on that data. I gave company-wide talks on security, phishing, the implications of storing our data in Slack, and realistic and unrealistic security threats.
Not the next coming of Claus von Stauffenberg but I don't think everyone needs to be; just conscious of the choices they make and the consequences.
