I think this is something that is orders of magnitude easier for technophiles to accept than the average person.
Because to the average person it so so easy to delete data - they press the delete key and its gone! So they look at the problem and think the computer programmers just need to do a better job.
Whereas you or I realize that it virtually is impossible to prevent access of data - at least on a systemic level, and the problem (though in some cases it is the programmer's fault) isn't something that better programmers could fix.
