If that's really your marker, nothing but another war or the other horsemen will meet it. We can probably repeal all the laws on the books without hitting it.

The issue is not seeing something someone else may not - that's but a symptom that allows the burying of much illegal and discriminatory activity. There's been plenty of examples of both in recent years - Cambridge Analytica is just one.

You may have a look at all the most common fears and find how many of them could be connected to privacy at all, in any meaningful way. From irrational (clowns) to semi-rational (immigrants and robots) and rational (shootings) ones.
