It is kinda like the routine surveillance flights that the FBI is doing over every major American city. People know, freak out for a week or two and then they just start to forget that it is happening.
The endless stream of good reasons for people to embrace privacy, just can’t compete with their addiction to the race to the bottom of their brain stem social media platforms that are profiting off their addiction and bubble creation.
We are a distracted society stumbling towards suicide by climate change and the rise of fascism due to the decline of Capitalism.
Giving your point, what concerns me even more is the complete decline of cultural diversity, people are just the same, whether they live east/west/south/north of the globe, digital globalization is killing diversity and leaves no room for cultural exchange, we often forget that we are the story, and if we are not able to tell our story, someone will come and tell it, using their own version of it, which might not even align to the original one, and if we try claim the story, it's already too late, we have seen it happening and it will continue to happen all over the world.
and this is absolutely applicable to privacy, the next generations will grow up in a society where surveillance is the normality and privacy is something of the past.
