Privacy is possibly becoming a generation gap issue; throw enough of these against the wall and people will just stop caring until they can quantize a real world impact

People have already stopped caring at large.

You say that, but I think young people are concerned with privacy: see snapchat, etc

  Snapchat is in no way private.

    That in no way changes the fact that it is popular because consumers believe that it is. Consumers might not always be very bright when it comes to privacy and security, but the popularity of snapchat demonstrates that they do care.

      That's not why it's popular today. It's popular because it's inconvenient to save messages, not because it's impossible. Nobody is under any illusion to the contrary.

        Why do you think they want it to be inconvenient to save messages? Privacy. They want those messages to be private.

    Are you disagreeing with him? I'm pretty sure he's right. You can also be right, but it's hard to know because you seem to have put the least possible amount of effort into your comment.

  If you think Snapchat is private, then it is already too late.

  To clarify on this statement: the perception of privacy is important to some people, regardless of if the implementation is secure and truly private. So the assertion that people are concerned with it still remains true.

> people will just stop caring until they can quantize a real world impact By which time it'll be way too late. When all of your data is in all databases (rather than most of your data in some, as is now) and a Google search could result in some marketer cold-calling your landline about what you just searched, well... that'll be when people realize the outcome of the game they lost years ago.

  Just like today it's way too late to stop the train of gay marriage acceptance. There are still a few crazy old people that rail against it though. Congratulations on being one of the crazy old people.
