That was my point. Austerity measures tangibly affect most people in easy to understand ways: cuts to healthcare, cuts to education, delayed retirement, etc. Police violence and overreach are a significant concern especially among certain minorities because they (allegedly) experience forms of it every day. But the Internet is largely a magic box and at this point the common understanding seems to be that it is both private and also under massive corporate and state surveillance at the same time. And that's not even mostly wrong.
