content: Either most people don't care about privacy or we, the tech community, do a poor job of connecting things like encryption to what people do genuinely care about.  Huh... I had never really thought about it that way. I think it's definitely a mixture of both - there are people who post nude pics to public sites and there are people who won't communicate without encryption - moat of the public seems to side closer to the former than the latter. Additionally I think the tech industry (though I admit there are heavy outside influences) have done poorly to champion online privacy. What I do wonder is how much influence intelligence agencies have on tech companies and the extent of how popular certain encryption is. Could someone in CIA incentivize you to keep security down? We already know they pursue zero day exploits
