Re: Security!=privacy

"People get understandably edgy when they realise information about their private network environment is surreptitiously siphoned off"

But not edgy enough to actually do anything about it. People are happy to whine when some sort of data slurping happens to make the popular media, but they still blindly agree to anything and everything an app wants when they install them. It's all very well to criticise app makers for bad practice, but there's simply no incentive for them to make an effort since they know virtually no-one actually cares.
