That's a very different point.
They are pretty similar. When you look at things like privacy and security in light of human actions and behaviors, then look at our ability to record the entropy from those actions, a whole lot of what we thought was private can be divined by those that can collect enough of this waste.
They're related by the time reversibility of quantum mechanics and the necessary implication that disorder is the broad mixing of initial information.
