If a society values it's privacy enough then it will change. The real issue is how abstract the consequences of loss of privacy are. It requires people to actually think beyond "I've got nothing to hide". No worries though. Greedy corporations and governments are greedy and they'll keep pushing the limits of societie's tolerance until it blows up in their face.

Governments are way scarier though. I can decide not to use Google, people in third world countries need the internet.
