"Americans are actually less concerned about online security and privacy risks than they were in 2015, according to new Census Bureau data released today by the technology policy arm of the Commerce Department... The proportion of online households reporting privacy and security concerns fell from 84% in 2015 to 73% in the fall of 2017, per the data released today. And just 33% in 2017 said privacy concerns stopped them from doing certain online activities, like posting on social media or making purchases online — down from 45% in 2015..." https://www.axios.com/survey-online...ing-f7a5b2ed-6839-4854-b2e5-20beb04ab28c.html
And @hawki, that's scary in a macabre sort of way. And on the increase still. If you notice in your domestic or work commutes in a motor car, females are most notorious and lead the pack in this regard I would bet. Always staring nose in while even at a traffic light, and wherever they are, simply walking with the nose buried in those things, smartphone up at eye level etc. One could just about guarantee Privacy concerns are the furthest from their attention. To be quite frank, even if they got hacked and phone toasted, no biggie, just go buy a new one right? Arggggg
