What do you think needs to happen for non-techies to start being concerned about this topics?

I find at least one new scandal article every day regarding privacy in big software companies, but I rarely hear any complains or concerns from non-techies.

They have to be credibility convinced there is some issue and that the problem is not beyond their control. Many people wrongly assume there is nothing they can do because we need to act collectively and they have to be shown the real potential and current harms.

But why would they think the end justified the means? It's a high risk / low value move.
