A broad statement. I’d like to see the evidence that they don’t care, especially when faced with the level of detail collected.

I’d say they don’t care to know, not that they don’t care. Ignorance is not a defence, even if it is temporarily a business case.

Almost everyone, I've spoken to about these (including software engineers), know they are being tracked and they don't care. Actually, you know what, not almost everyone, everyone I've spoken to about this.

I've got the reply "if you don't like it, stay off the internet". Well.

I do care. More must be done to protect consumers. I have spoken.

I agree. I find it utterly disrespectful for all the engineers who are working their asses off to save the free internet when someone tells me to stay off the internet if I don't want to use a Google service. It's that bad.

I can't point you toward public data, unfortunately. But, I work in this space.
