I don't know. The future of privacy doesn't look good. Maybe Ted Kaczynski was right and many of our modern technologies are antithetical to certain freedoms people in the past enjoyed, like privacy. If that is the case, then no amount of legislation can restore or save privacy. Maybe only delay its inevitable death.

There is a certain truth to that, in that modern digital technology (from digital networks, to data centers to satellites orbiting constantly above Earth) makes it easier than ever to collect and process a lot of very detailed data about everybody and everything

But modern technology has also made it very easy to rob or kill people in large numbers and we (generally) don't do that.

Whether "privacy is dead" or not is not a technological question, it is a moral, political, economic and social structure question. Legislation that is aligned with what society wants (or should want) and is thus enforced can be very effective.

If we resign and normalize the current status quo there will be nobody to blame for the dystopia but us.
