So I do live in Germany, where due to recent history, people are a tad more concerned with privacy than the residents of other countries. My statement was about observations in Germany: there was a doxxing/data leak of politicians data over christmas which was in the news for about a week. Today the collection #1 data leak made the headlines of mainstream media. Even if the conclusions often go in the wrong directions, privacy is discussed a lot.
You may argue that the situation in the US is completely different, but I'm not convinced. See for example the Apple billboard at CES. Would they have put that up if privacy wasn't interesting to their (potential) users?
