This vision reminds me of David Brin's "Transprent Society"[1], which I believe doesn't take in to account that the wealthy and powerful will be able to afford much more privacy and surveillance than poor people. The former will also be able to bend laws, technology, and the rest of society to their benefit and to the detriment of less powerful, poorer, and less well-connected people.

The key thing is that there will need to be an arms race in people's ability to defend themselves against unwanted attention. And of course there are no guarantees. So assuming privacy when you actually have no way to guarantee you have it becomes dangerous if you start breaking rules and laws. And of course you having little side chats with other people about helping you out in exchange for something would count exactly as a situation where that conversation might not actually be private anymore.
