I think the problem is that everything happens "under the rug" and there is no solid way to prove anything. Almost everything wrong is done in the name of something else as justification (like monitoring private details in the name of security). People are afraid to question such actions due to the fear of being labelled a conspiracy theorist. Being a conspiracy theorist is not so wrong. They are just skeptical and question the things they are being told rather than blindly accepting it.
