In response to the article, it most certainly will be. The loss of privacy allows states to compete through coordination that otherwise isn't possible. Consider that the United States' disposition to privacy has contributed to the less effective response to the pandemic. Does the US gain an equivalent amount of competitiveness for the vulnerabilities that privacy allows? Are decisions even being considered with regard to this trade-off? I'm probably biased because I have enjoyed the benefits of privacy my whole life, but is it possible that the US is in general placing too high value on privacy?
