I'm not sure that they ever did.
The turning point for me when I really got a concrete realisation about people absolutely not giving a shit about this was when Snowden came out and I saw the majority of people just go "Eh, that's pretty fucked, whatever", and then immediately jump straight back into scrolling facebook all day long.
I realised then that there probably wasn't any point expecting anything from them. I don't have much sympathy left for people in this regard anymore.
Most people legitimately don't give a shit about this issue. I think that they really should, but they absolutely don't for the most part.
I tried to explain this to my daughter in law when she suggested my wife just use the same password for everything, including online banking.
Ended up in a big row about how she doesn't give a shit because she has nothing to hide.
Didn't talk to me for a week.
Thinking about that, perhaps I should rack it up as a success ๐
Can't disagree with anything you just said
