While I appreciate the intent & the technical solution, why should I be paying for anything to protect me from someone's unhealthy interest in my data? Privacy

  You could choose to live in a cave, not paying for water nor electricity, and not move more than 10km from your home in your entire life, but sadly the last people who tried at a massive scale died at age 30 and it was called "the Middle Age". Seriously though, you could fight tooth and nail to have your privacy protected (GDPR lawsuit, whatnot) but it's time consuming, and surely you have better to do. You could also ask why you pay for locks on your doors, when the things you buy are yours; why you have to pay for a parking spot; etc.

    You may have misunderstood me. It's not about not wanting to pay for value -- it's about putting the right economic incentive to promote the behavior beneficial to the general public (and each individual). I paid for my lock, but I did not fortify my home. That would be unreasonable, because the society I live in discourages theft, codified it in some rules and actively enforces them, to discourage the unwanted behaviors. And yes, I pay for this through my taxes. I believe I get value for money. In a similar fashion I expect privacy intrusion to be frowned upon and policed. Surely I have better to do than filing GDPR lawsuits -- or searching for the latest privacy glasses. But I don't want to spend my time searching for such gadgets just because someone on the Internet thinks they're fine. I don't want the privacy glasses in the very same way I don't want a fortress for a home. I hope you understand.
