While certainly some people take it to a point that could be considered too far, I think that the reality is that you have to go very far if you want actual privacy today. I think most people either don’t know all the ways that their daily lives are being tracked and their activities are sold or they simply don’t care. To vast majority, doing anything that isn’t trivial is probably too far, and the more you talk about it with them, the more they will think it’s crazy. Most people of the older generation probably don’t “get it” or think it can be real, and very young people have probably never known privacy in their lives to much degree, so it can be a tough sell. I think Late Gen-X and Millienials are the main group that got to experience privacy when they were young and then saw it slowly eroded away in increasingly gross ways until it was gone.
