Is this issue getting much attention outside of tech circles? I have seen a few news stories here or there, but nothing major. I have not heard a word about it from any of my non-tech friends or from the non-tech people I follow on social media. Meanwhile people on HN are acting as if this is one of the biggest stories of the year with multiple posts on it every day. There is a huge separation in the importance that the tech community puts on the general concept of privacy while the average person rarely worries about it.
