I categorically disagree with the premise that we live in anything resembling a golden age of privacy. On the contrary, IMHO we are approaching the clichéd Orwellian system of Big Brother. Don't forget for a second that the privacy tools we currently have only exist due to the rampant and ubiquitous nature of tracking these days. CCTV cameras. "Real Name" policies. Corporate monetization of user data. Third-party cookie networks. Password/data leaks. Doxxing. Tape over laptop webcams. PRISM. TVs with built-in microphones and cameras. Facebook listening to your ambient audio. It is an incessant and relentless reality that everything we say, do, and soon think, is being collated to enable later correlation possibly years from now.
