I am not sure what your "we" refers to.
I am sure people can "do more" on improving privacy.
But in many places the concept "privacy" is vague, without much explanation of why it's an important concept. And I would like to see more discussions about this concept.
I do like you saying "Privacy is exclusively cast as an individual / personal concept".
Individuals are the smallest unit in our society and has the least protection against larger groups of people (e.g. companies, governments, other powerful groups). Privacy would be one of the concepts as basis of "individual protection".
- streamofdigits 5y ago"we" as in everybody :-), in particular in our capacity of shaping legal frameworks and regulation maybe there reason there isn't more discussion about something so deeply relevant is that we are already in a stage where what is being discussed is pretty much channeled and controlled. I would imagine if somebody declared "your property ownership is dead, from now on you own nothing" there would be quite a bit more discussion about it.
- PikachuEXE 5y agoThat would be too obvious. The enemies these days will come with "justice" and "ensure your safety" and "save you from dangerous X". And hey just at a price of "a little" privacy and freedom!
