I truly wonder why people still believe they have any privacy, any right to privacy, or, that they could do anything about it.

Sun Microsystems‘ Scott McNealy was vocal about this already in the late 1990s: „you have no privacy, get over it“

Look, even if you were able to get FAANG et al. to honor privacy, there will always be the one player that does not. Then, the people who write privacy laws have no clue what they are doing. Plus, I’ve seen software professionals copy/pasting encryption algorithms that contain errors from stackoverflow into production code.

It’s time to face reality, this ship has sailed, stop whining, finally start adapting to an environment without privacy: Treat all your data as if they would become public one day.

Use your energy to teach others to be tech literate to understand what this means, how to deal with this and how to behave.

The GDPR (very good legislation forming one of our rights to privacy), and a host of UK/Europe national Data Protection Acts preceding it would take issue with this statement.

Its enforcement is severely lacking though, to the point where you wonder if the parties supposed to enforce it are actually benefiting from the status-quo.
