I think the social element is one of the roots of the problem.

Basically, people don't understand privacy, and don't see what is going on, so they don't care about it. Additionally, most privacy intrusions are carefully combined with some reward or convenience, and that becomes the status quo.

This leads to the people who stand up to this being ridiculed as tinfoil hat types, or ignored as nonconformist.

everything after that is just a matter of time.
