Things are not moving towards the generalized end of privacy and ownership. That may be the case for a specific subset of the population (the 99 percenters), but overall things are simply moving towards a centralization in information availability and asset ownership. The "elites" (sorry for the boogeyman word Overton window'd out of acceptable use, but it's accurate) own more and more, know more and more about you and your peers, and you still don't know anything about them, or have any democratic control over them. For someone presumably working in the information industry, calling privacy a petty issue is an interesting opinion, when data is the underlying lifeblood of most of our businesses.
