(2013). > However, I believe that we have turned a corner: we have finally attained Peak Indifference to Surveillance. We have reached the moment after which the number of people who give a damn about their privacy will only increase. While I have seen a slight increase in interest, have we really turned a corner in the last five years? Certainly the EU has started to change the rules on privacy, but I haven't seen a dramatic increase of giving a d*mn in the general populace.
