Well put. All the regulation and change Ralph Nader and co managed to make happen didn't take more than a few hundred motivated people - https://m.youtube.com/w

  People are lazy and don't care. It's why we are now in a world where either Google or Apple have access to pretty much every piece of data that every person on the planet produces or consumes. The Google Problem in particular is spawned by people wanting free or cheap stuff at any cost. It will take more than a few hundred people to change this now. It's too entrenched.

    Yes they/we are. And more over, they are unaware and/or uneducated. So were they before when literacy and education was limited to nobility and clergy (probably not so much per design, but per means and imagination and interest). And so couldn't understand WHAT general people literacy and education could bring to society as a whole and for every one. It's not a matter of guilt or lazyness. Things take time to enter the mind of one person, even more so the mind of societies. An educational/technological advantage is not always but often a winning one. And that is not an excuse.

    People aren't lazy and don't care. People are busy and have other priorities and don't see meaningful gains for investing time and effort in opposing the endless torrent of technofeudalism washing over them. Trying to moralize a co-ordination issue is great way to shift the responsibility for bad things occurring from those doing it to those who failed to resist it.
