It's hard to talk about this all in full generality, because it varies from taboo to taboo. There are a lot of taboos (homosexuality, polyamory, kinky sex) which thrive under the social consensus of "what people do in private is their own business", and once there is no privacy anymore, hopefully people will stop caring entirely about those matters.

Other taboos (adultery, racism, displays of anger) won't be as easily accepted.
