I agree - enthusiastically - with your points, but I do have one comment: > I don't think there is any purpose to being caught up in theoretical discussions about privacy. There is a point! These discussions provide the context, terminology, and language for the people that understand these issues the best, to provide people like me - people whom our peers consider “conspiracy wackos” and “tinfoil” because of our deep-seated suspicion and mistrust of surveillance tech - with the tools to explain our rationale to the people we have influence over, via interpersonal relationships and whatnot. This article, for me, crystallizes and defines many of my own personal anxieties about surveillance culture, and gives me the tools to better explain my concerns and apprehensions to my friends and family. Just a thought.
