"Younger citizens ... comfortable ... having their every step watched by CCTV cameras"

They conclude that based on what? Because the CCTV cameras have been around for most of their life and younger citizens haven't revolted and smashed them all like Luddites?

People being resigned to something sucking is not the same as being comfortable with it. I hate that there are few privacy protections here in the US against the likes of Google, Amazon and the credit agencies, and if I could change the laws I would. However I know I cannot, so I just grit my teeth and ignore it. If the US government did a whitewash report like that UK one, I imagine they'd lump me in with those "comfortable with self regulating corporations offering opt out privacy policies".
