I wouldn't say they caused barely-nil reactions. Maybe to the general public and to a random bystander if asked, but they still had implications for the public's overall trust in the government. And for users in the affected spaces (tech, security, etc.) the reaction was stronger and longer lasting.

In my observation it really was as I described: - those who already deeply distrusted the government continued to do so - the others (the huge majority) simply did barely care or even attempted to justify the crimes Concerning your point about tech and security sectors: those who form the inner core of the people working in these sectors basically already knew what was happening since at least the 90s.
