Nobody really ever cared about privacy, they are perfectly okay with it being violated to the same extent as people living under a totalitarian regime for 8 hours out of every day. The security requirements that would need to be imposed in order to provide the assurance of privacy of data that you have given to a third party is so extreme as to be laughable even to imagine an attempt to implement it. The CIA cannot manage that, what makes you think Bank of America can? I also find it interesting that in attempting to protect a clients privacy, we must give up our own privacy and submit to workplace surveillance. Well, everybody is somebody's client and most everybody has clients, so we have a bit of a paradox on our hands it would seem where everybody has to be monitored at all times in order to ensure that nobody is monitoring others at all times.... If GDPR were actually enforced consistently, or similar laws covering more specific information that exist in the United States, the economy would crawl to a screeching halt and there would be warlords fighting it out over what's left of civilization within a week. I'm not really sure what the solution to this is, only that we are lying to ourselves that we are anywhere close to having figured it out, and anybody involved that tells you otherwise (people selling ztna, etc) is willfully ignorant or a conman. There is also interesting discussion to be had about the meaning of all of this. It's not clear at all that we have ever had a society that guaranteed the level of privacy that some seem to expect. We always had other ways of monitoring people and violating privacy that did not require electronics. Community involvement to a level sufficient to ensure nobody is totally screwing everybody else over has always been a requirement if you wanted to not be living in a cardboard box or a prison. I happen to think that is better than a total state or the modern corporation, but recognize that others can have different views on this.
