We are not here by accident. Those are symptoms of a public that doesn't care. We have been explaining the consequences of each choice for techs during the last 20 years. I've had the talk with my friends and familly many times. Very patiently. Very nicely.
Nobody cares. It's just an annoyance for them.
And it requires an enormous more amounr of energy to live your live this way than not caring. Even more if you gotta explain.
Most people believe they are good and conforming. They don't believe anything would happen to them because of what Apple does and they don't want to be seen as those defending abusers right to privacy.
Acting concerned in discussions would be a start. Choosing what services to use, what product to buy, what media to consume, not just because that's the easiest. Limit their involvment in this, even professionnally, if they can.

But politicians and busines people don't care about being good or bad. They just follow the wind.

More people care about organic, they sell organic.
Just caring a little, demonstarting a little that we disaprove and want something else orient their decisions. Because their decisions are not driven by moral, it's just business.
Also, even if you don't do any of this, and I can believe I have to even state this, not teasing or shaming those who do would be an improvement.
Nobody cares. It's just an annoyance for them.
And it requires an enormous more amounr of energy to live your live this way than not caring. Even more if you gotta explain.
And so here we are.
