The term "privacy" has become a hollow word that people use to criticise anything they don't like.
Generally, I see the concept of "you shouldn't be able to know anything about me, but I should be able to know everything about you" everywhere.
Notably in tech circles, this is prevalent in how we see hacking.
People who hack into other people's computers, IT people who snoop onto employee accounts, and people who support personal data breaches like the Fappening (saying stuff like "if they don't want to have their images become public, they shouldn't have taken them"), and publishing of personal emails (e.g. Wikileaks), all have had conversations with me complaining that Facebook is violating their privacy rights. None have recognized that what they are involved in is way, way worse than anything that Facebook has done.
