Yes. People don't know and most don't care.
For example, the EU parliament has just recently passed legislation to allow "providers of e-mail and messaging services to automatically search all personal messages of each citizen for presumed suspect content and report suspected cases to the police."
Most people I talk to don't know about this. When they hear it, they're in shock. And then go on living their lives. It's really very intangible to most people.
