Probably because they are just too busy servicing their 5,938 faux friendsies on Fakebook, 8,938 fellow twits on Twitter, making Reddit safe for commiekind, playing stoopid video games, bragging about how privacy is dead, and ranting about how the only people who want privacy is them with something to hide.....to actually become informed on this (or pretty much any other topic).

They much prefer to careen through their pathetic little lives, running on what Gurdjieff called 'autopilot', and either regurgitating the thoughts and opinions of others...or basing their thoughts and opinions on feelings, childish assumptions, idealistic fallacies, etc. Anything to embrace intellectual sloth, or avoid original thought.
