Not until there is a massive data breach that leads to very serious and obvious real world consequences
Like the Equifax hack that nobody cares about anymore?
On a similar scale, but with consequences like zeroing out savings and maxing out credit cards of several dozens of millions of people or violence for political views/sexual preferences/etc on the same scale. Basically, something that will make a large number of people learn about the importance of privacy the hard way.
If it’s violence over sexual preferences I imagine a lot of people will be indifferent or blame deviants as a whole.
I still can't believe that was just completely forgotten about by almost everyone
