> Since there will never be an option for pre-electronics privacy again Why do you think so? You still can have a private conversation to which no third parties are privy, you just have to use the right tools and avoid using the tools that don't match your requirements. Which is getting harder as most tools don't seem to have real privacy in mind (everyone loves the word and boasts about it, but few actually mean or practice it), but there's still plenty of tools that do and no signs this niche is dying or anything. Even the big tech seem to respect this to some extent, because there is a genuine demand for explicitly end-to-end private conversations, and because it allows companies to avoid liability and keep certain cans of worms closed. I'd say the trends aren't looking strictly antiutopian in this regard, and it's still uncertain how everything is going to turn out.
