I believe a prerequisite for these is more awareness among the people who vote. The ones in power don’t seem to care. The ones who care about privacy are not numerous enough (depends on the country) to vote the right people into power or get any traction on legislation and enforcement of laws.
I still feel that the Edward Snowden revelations didn’t achieve much at all in terms of real and long lasting change (perhaps my expectations are too high).
At the same time, I don’t mean to imply that we’re not seeing more awareness and concern from the masses. We need this to be accelerated and for the masses to be energized to take action. Lots of work to do still!
