People don't care about privacy as long as a faceless corporation is doing the spying. People very much care if it has a plausible path to embarrassing or creepy situations involving actual people in your life. The chilling effect of ubiquitous phone cameras is well documented now this would amp it up by a 100. Many cool clubs already put stickers on phone cameras.

Most everyone hates the fact they are being surveilled, but it is pervasive and people only can deal with so many complications in life. Avoiding surveillance is not a decision or action, it is 1000 decisions and actions. Endless decisions and actions.
- bonoboTP 8mo agoIn my experience most people don't care at all. Even if you tell them about these topics, they find it weird, and tinfoil-hat adjacent. "If you have nothing to hide..." and "why would anyone care about my data in particular?"
