"However we're living in a time when absolute right to privacy and anonymity in public no longer exists..." And that is the crux of the issue. It needs to be made a right and enforced like every other right. The problem is that it isn't and it is like the wild west when it comes to people's privacy and data. Given the rapid rise of big data and the surveillance state I would say that a time of flux is just starting. My sincere hope is that it ends with strengthened rights for the individual. I am not convinced it will, however.
