I think the FB/CA thing is prob less about privacy than the specific fear that personal psych profiles create perfect advertising. Everyone could be made to act against their interests, not just gullible people! That this isn't already the case is a pleasant lie we tell ourselves
Seems likely that: (a) manipulating a given person into doing or believing a specific thing they weren't likely to do or believe anyway is actually still very hard, and (b) manipulating enough people by just casting a sufficiently large net works & has worked for a long time.
I think most people believe some version of (a) & (b), where (a) is true if the person isn't gullible & (b) is true as long as the target pop contains enough gullible people. But I don't think gullibility explains much. Advertisers target pops that want what they're selling.
Pretty sure CA isn't much better than any of it's competitors. People seem to take their self-marketing statements at face value because Trump won (he got much more help from old media, 8 years of dem pres (pendulum), Comey, and uncharismatic opponent : https://twitter.com/LibertyRPF/status/977532475391074304 … )
Yeah, it suggests their belief in some kind of free will is on unstable/illusory ground and that's definitely a pleasant lie many people don't want destroyed.
