    I worked with a guy who was implementing application monitoring for clientside applications. think of it like google analytics for single page apps. he proposed we could require users install a browser plugin to make it easier to track and monitor the users on our app with the added benefit we could track them on other websites like our competition.

    one person in a room of about 11 people spoke up about the implications of privacy and the backlash we might have from our user base when they find out that we basically just installed a keylogger in their browser.

    the only thing that stopped this plan from going forward was the risk of losing users and potential revenue loss.

    my point in all this is to answer your question. no, most people have stopped thinking about their actions and are just creating “solutions” to problems that don’t exist.
