Privacy services are sometimes hard to learn so people will just decide to go back to the old days. I imagine that it will be easier in a group.
I’ve seen this episode of Futurama

Eventually everyone has to go full Battlestar Galactica
Psh, I’m already doing that! I’m using smoke signals to write this right now!
Serious response: How would a movement like that spread awareness of itself?
That more than likely exists although albeit it’s dropped for other things as well
hutterites/mennonites already exist
im sure there are more, but thats all that comes to mind right now
I think there will be a popular movement that makes the news
Or you could install Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Why haven’t you done this yet?
Butlerian Jihad intensifies…
Well why would you even need machines if a Mentat can describe images of cats to you instead
Where do I sign up?
Strictly speaking, earth.
My lab partner in school was a memnonite. I’m sure she doesn’t speak for everyone, but her comment on the topic was something to the effect of,“we don’t hate technology, we just wait to see if you guys can work out all the kinks first.”

In Demolition Man they used an old classic car instead of the new self-driving, auto-tracking cars.
That’s why it would be a reasonably big movement. It would be basically going on strike from tech.
How would one organize such a movement?
Either for privacy or because we destroyed the biosphere mining the precious minerals we needed for stupid gadgets that the earth becomes uninhabitable due to rapid ecosystem collapse as the ocean heats up to a point where photosynthesis is no longer possible and we all suffocate slowly on a desolate planet.
I hope its the first one.
You’d be surprised how much technology certain Amish communities use. They’ll have machines that operate on water instead of electricity.
