I wouldn't be surprised if the tolerance of the general public begins to drop, especially given some of the recent incidents. The sheer volume of data that these companies and applications have access to is staggering and can be rather personal. If data is leaked from Facebook, Amazon, or Google that involve geolocation data, purchase history, or personal files, I can see that being a huge incentive for companies to focus on quality.

But that requires an informed and engaged public...so...maybe not.
