## What Jamie wrote

I'd agree with the leader here.

> Majorities think their personal data is less secure now, that data collection poses more risks than benefits, and believe it is not possible to go through daily life without being tracked.

So basically I take from this article that American's went from first not caring about our privacy, to not understanding, to giving up.
