I think the problem is ignorance and the level of effort required: 1) Technology is "magical" to most people and they don't really understand the dangers. 2) Normal people can't actually vote against this on party lines which makes it hard for "normal people" to fight it. They'd have to think and learn about who they need to remove which is something they've rarely done. [e.g. Feinstein (D) needs to go but so does McCain (R)] The majority of Democrats & Republic politicians [at the federal level] support it. It is why attempts to remove it have failed. 3) Those of us that vote against such people in every election don't really get anywhere because of #1 & #2. I vote against my House Rep & Feinstein in every election for all the good it does me.
