My point is that it’s not hopeless. We can have reasonable privacy today, and we can change the laws to protect the rest. If we just assume we don’t have privacy, our governments will continue to take.

Then, I apologize, as it seems that I misrepresented your comments. Yes, we can still safeguard our privacy, and we should. This will need a very good chunk of the population making changes, educating children on the dangers of not having privacy, and how the government works for the population, not the other way around. This will require many to get out of their comfort zone, and stop providing data and/money to the corporations that have most individuals convinced that we can’t live without their services, which is completely false. This will be painful, but then again, what revolution isn’t?
