> they've decided they can trust these 3rd parties

Most of said masses don't even realize there's trust involved, leave along making a decision on whether to trust vendors or not. They just swallow what's free without much thinking.

Just look at something like the real-estate business. You'd think that realtors would appreciate how much private information is passing through their hands and that they would conform to the privacy protection laws they are typically bound with. And yet, every single one of these retards uses Gmail and routinely email forms stuffed to the brim with delicious personal info in plain text. How can you realistically expect the masses to do any better?
