the privacy as we know it has been obsoleted by technology, just like many other things in the past and will be in the future.

Instead of trying to save terminally ill patient - privacy - we need to look into the future. The real fight is who owns the data, not whether the data is collected. For example can we just force that all the data anybody has about anybody is to be public?

Privacy returns when all surveillance becomes a two-way channel. If someone watches you, you would know who it is and can watch them right back, change your behavior for as long as they watch, or demand that they stop entirely.

The problem we are having now is not just that people are watching us, it is that we also don't know who they are or when they are doing it.
