Question I had related to needing a loud public outcry. Do you have thoughts on how to appeal to the masses concerning harmful laws, and more broadly, privacy in general?

How do we get the average person concerned about privacy? It’s been eroding for years, and it’s getting worse because companies get away with surreptitiously tracking users and collecting and forwarding that data for profit. An alarming number of people don’t seem to care. Were the average user to covet their privacy, taking steps to prevent (or hinder) themselves from being tracked, I would think it would cripple large scale privacy violations as a profitable option. How do we convince our fellow end user to value privacy as a right that must be protected, as something more valuable than convenience?
