I agree that a big part of the problem is human behavior and how ppl are not willing to change their buying behavior to buy more privacy preserving products or demand the creation of such products or stop using the ones that are “clearly” harming them. That said, the Internet in terms of privacy and surveillance is broken by design. Here is a relevant quote from the website I shared and you referred to: “ According to Washington Post's "Net of Insecurity" series the inventors of TCP/IP originally wanted to build basic end-to-end cryptography directly into the protocols, thus guaranteeing at least the authenticity of transmissions if not the content, within the possibilities of the late '70s. By impeding any public use of cryptography, the National Security Agency fundamentally broke the Internet early on. Since then we not only have an Internet which is unencrypted by default, it is also insecure as the provenience of any IP packet can be spoofed at will.”
