You're not asking the right question. The answer was right in what you quoted:

> generations of state surveillance has conditioned the public to be less concerned about sharing information than Westerners

They are already so used to being watched that they don't find it odd to be watched.

That has been my impression. Sometimes people find little ways to insulate themselves (I know a guy who doesn't put his license plate in the right place so his car can't automatically be tracked when he drives around the country), but in general lack of privacy is just the way it is. Kind of like taxes in the US. People may be annoyed with how much they pay and some people use dubiously clever means of reducing it, and people have concerns about the details, but not many people really think taxes overall are a bad thing and should be abolished or greatly restricted.
