The parent post defined “human rights” as something from holy scriptures. What I can see from being part of highly functional societies is that they require me to give up a big part of my privacy. Like, I can’t get salary without bank account. Which I can’t get without submitting a whole lot of personal information to the bank. There’re many essential services which you can’t access anonymously. At a very least “privacy” isn’t a binary category. There could be more privacy or less privacy, but not 100%.

One more example: some societies will require you to disclose any relation to politically exposed persons. Which is beneficial to society, but I can’t withhold even if I wanted.

Very valid points, which I agree with.

As the famous saying goes: There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

Privacy is a trade-off.
