It's arguable whether bad PR and vicious backlash are working, or happening. As evidence I present... well, here we are. Edit: added a word

- TAForObvReasons 9y agoWhen it did work, like when Bill O'Reilly was pushed out of Fox News, the PR and public outrage aligned with a large faction within the company. It's a lot easier to push out or target individual bad actors than to reform the whole corporate structure.
- akshat_h 9y agoI think there are no 'obvious' repercussions to the privacy and security issues that are affecting the general public. For example, lots of companies have been hacked(Target, Equifax), and AFAIK there hasn't been credit card fraud on massive scale that has been reported in the media. It kinda makes people think that media is over inflating the issue(which it lots of time does), and just not care. We have been hearing about how this data will be used to say deny loans etc. but nothing has happened. I mean even Snowden spying scandal just revealed the extensive spying. What exactly are the agencies doing with the data and how that negatively impacts me is not really clear for a general person. And I am speaking as somewhat tech literate person. Why exactly would an average person care? Giving up privacy has, I think, almost become 'normal'
