I think you're mistreading the parent comment. And oddly too, because you do the same thing. You don't mean "these people are forfeiting their right to privacy" literally, do you? it's the opposite. Neither does the parent, it's a question, implied that the answer is "of course not!" You made that even clearer with "Sorry, what?" but parent comment only make sense if that addendum is assumed.
