Yeah I guess I glossed over that. Certainly a lot of people, particularly older people don't really understand tech and the magnitude of spying that is possible through Google, Facebook, et al. That's pretty much a moot point though, when you consider what this surveillance apparatus enables. The vast majority of people use some tech (eg. telephone) that will enable inappropriate data to be collected and stored, and even if they are hermits living off the grid, they can still be implicated as a subject of interest simply by being named in a third-party email exchange. Getting all up in arms about the government snooping our Facebook data seems to be almost completely missing the point.
