## Quote — verbatim

> I've seen quite a bit of anti-Facebook, anti-big-tech creeping into the mainstream — I mean, my mom is concerned about Facebook prying on us. So that's an indication that the infringement of privacy is becoming a lot more mainstream. I think it's only time that will eventually make privacy a lot more valuable.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His optimistic counter to the panel's UX pessimism; he points to Signal — value proposition is private messages, not privacy per se — and argues privacy should be a core primitive with value built on top.
