New gen here(19). Care about privacy, while most people i know doesn't. It does not depends on gen. It's just most people of any gen, if they get comfortable with service they would not care if it's gonna take every piece of info they have.

One thing I'm not clear on is how so many people don't care about privacy while mobile operating systems have made permissions labels and privacy controls an important part of the design.

Perhaps it's for the minority of users who are more discerning? Maybe it gives the OS developers something to do?
