Ask YC: As a user/developer, do you care about privacy?

I've always worried about online privacy. Recently, I've begun to feel like I'm in a shrinking minority. Every day, I see people trade even their most sensitive information for convenience or fun. Ambivalence towards privacy might be partly due to ignorance, but it's also possible that people just don't care about it.

As developers, do you try to protect the privacy of users? Do you care about your personal privacy enough to NOT use a really cool web service? Do your users click your privacy policy of ask you about it?

As an aside, I predict:

- Extremely aggressive behavioral targeting will be adopted by all major ad networks including Google. Less than 0.1% of people will opt out of 1st or 3rd party cookies if they have the option.

- At least 20% of the most successful social network applications will make their money by exporting and reselling personal information. Aggregation will provide little anonymity for good data miners.No social networks will aggressively enforce its T&C's, including FB.

- Consumers will continue to assume that a well designed homepage is a proxy for security. (e.g. Mint).

- Online and offline companies (e.g. credit cards) will regularly provide information for government investigations.
