Nah, not anymore. These tools are starting to be used by police without any remorse, so an ever increasing amount of people are aware. Its being used against immigrants, journalists, activists, etc. so the normie and privacy nerd worlds are starting to overlap.
But don't the people who get caught, disappear in the gullet of the prison slavery system and never heard from again ? And if allowed the walk the streets again, they know talking about it puts a target on their back and the police will come smash the cardboard box they're sleeping in at night. And that's until they start with the involuntary lethals injections for those who "refuse ressources" as Fox & Friends put it
So instead of like 1 or 2% it’s now like 5%. Still not a majority
