>Do people expect that Instagram can't read their Instagram private messages? I don't think people expect that.

A deeper question is why we reached a point where people can't reasonably expect their communication to not be spied on.

People, or at least Americans, didn’t care in 2012 when the Snowden reveal happened. We’ve been at that point for over a decade now.

were like 20 years past that, at the very least 10 years with Snowden.

The people have spoken, caring about your communications not being spied on puts you in the minority. I mean like, just look at social media. You have tons of people who not only don't care about being spied on, they actively document everything for more views.
