I do wonder whether things will change if the tools become even more accessible?
I mean do you start caring about privacy when your local script kiddy can warrentlessly tap you? In my experience people tend only to care about things that directly affect them.
Part of the lack of caring I think comes from the thought that why would "they" care about spying on me, it seems so distant and unlikely to happen. However when your personal rivals can do it and you could do it back to them, well the risk starts to feel more immediate.
Sure there will be laws against it, but that doesn't stop some people, the main way to tackle it will be either reducing attack vectors or making any surveillance more visible, which will hopefully have a more global effect.
Perhaps more people will start talking about surveillance because it suddenly got yet again easier be a thing? Though perhaps I'm being naive =)...
