I'm sorry, i've heard this argument for 15 years, and it's still as false now as it was then. It's really just staunch privacy advocates thinking that their position is really right, and everyone would see the light if only they could be educated. Everyone likes to think this about their position. It's not limited to privacy contexts.

Your problem is not education. Your problem is your position is just a marginal one. Sad in some ways, but true.

The truth is, people have bigger fish to fry than this, and like a lot of things, they like to talk about some stuff, but when push comes to shove, "privacy" is just nowhere on the list of priorities, educated about it or not. The market would already exist otherwise.
