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.

Good luck fitting in society at that point… And avoiding all dependent technologies - cars, every city and shops that uses image recognition…. Plenty other ways to indirectly get anyone’s data in this world.

Now you can turn to the forest but is it better than the alternative ?

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?

In Demolition Man they used an old classic car instead of the new self-driving, auto-tracking cars.
