> Nobody cared about the privacy and security aspects Do people care about the privacy and security of their homes? They obviously do. Now why would the same people not care about the digital privacy and security of their homes? Maybe they are incoherent idiots. That is certainly part of the explanation. But maybe, just maybe, nobody credible and on a high enough podium ever warned them their digital homes are being pilfered with gusto. That, indeed, all sorts of valuables are taken from them, except they are intangible. Your arguments about economic model viability are right, except they are not. Economic models follow laws and regulations. If you mandate that digital privacy is a right and its violation is theft, then there will be a viable industry built around that. The shape of the tech industry is increasingly determined by political views rather than economic or technical constraints.
