I think you´ve said it all. Privacy is increasingly looking like a primitive concept, something incompatible with [post]modern times. I think this is a fallacy. How much privacy was there historically? Before cars and roads and telephones, when everyone lived in close, generally multigenerational family environments? Everyone knew everyone's business. Privacy is a rather modern invention. I'm also fairly certain that issues such as this particular one are not the result of decreased privacy, but rather the result of an increased expectation of privacy .
