Privacy and security are quite similar when you think about implementation. With respect to both, it's impossible to achieve it 100%. As the amount of applications running and the nuisance to which they run increase, it gets trivial to break either. Developers have long agreed that security is an arms race you really can't win. It's easier to break into than it is to secure. What mostly stands in the way of security breaches is that it's generally frowned on to do and, failing that, is illegal. The same might need to be true (or truer) for privacy. Privacy is harder to make people understand, though, given the muddiness of the area. Privacy breaches will never be reined in, therefore. We need to deal with the new reality of ultimate transparency. This could be okay as long as everyone has the same access to that information. Private information access inequality is the issue.
