I think you are confusing the intimate privacy of individuals and business secrecy. Privacy is about talking without restraint, giving an opinion you might be scared to tell in front of some people you don't trust entirely. For example, I recently had a one year class with a teacher, and the students really hated how detached the teacher was. They tried to tell him several times in nice manners, but he could not hear it, so they gave up. It was excruciating for them. They were fending for themselves while they was equipment, a nice room, and everyone was coming, but the teacher was so uninvolved in teaching and helping it was depressing. When a executive came to listen and write a take our opinions about the school program, the teacher could not be here, and it really made a difference, because they would not have spoken if he was there. This is privacy. You must be able to talk without fears. There are things that must be public, and other that must not. Feedback and opinions must be constantly made possible without fear of arguments, bad blood, firing, etc. I agree that corporate privacy/secrecy should not exist, and that there are many things like accounting that should be made public since there is no intimacy. There are many laws that make a difference between the intimate privacy of individuals and financial secrecy.
