Most of what I've seen of "a new generation" leads me that, on average, they're disturbingly willing to comply with any kind of authority on any kind of pretext. And some of the rebellious outliers are kind of Naz-ish.
Not wildly different from any previous age groups, of course, but definitely not some giant anti-authoritarian wave.
... and people of any age will only reliably "backlash" if they're actually inconvenienced. Most people will just accept the spying and go back to sharing stupid memes. Until it's too late, anyhow.
