Not in the same sense.

Most people don't care nearly as much that a telemarketer knows their name and that they have an above average chance of being interested in refinancing their house as they do about the fact that the call interrupted dinner.

You misunderstand. Annoying calls and privacy are related in the same way as a white list and a black list or as "all men are human but not all humans are men.
