I don't think people can predict what will happen to the products they buy in the future. But I do think people can choose to use or not use the products they buy based on new information. And my point is not that this is a good or bad thing (for the record I think it's bad but so is the company going out of business), just that more often than not the loudest consumer advocates seem to have incredibly dim views of consumers themselves. It must be the case that consumers don't know or don't understand the tradeoffs they are making, rather than that consumers simply place a lower value on "privacy".
