"People showing disregard for your privacy" is a matter of scale when going from analog to digital, it's at least not inconsistent.

e.g. If you engage in private spoken conversation, most people are not going to treat your conversation as if it's privileged, avoiding any mention of it in casual conversation, and refusing to divulge any details to law enforcement.

You need better friends. Most people I chat with regularly absolutely would not volunteer anything to law enforcement.

Yeah, bullshit. "Tell us this thing or you are going to jail. Might have a trial in a week or a month."

I promise you you aren't the main character in your friends' lives and they will absolutely give up information on you to save their career and their family.
