As far as I can tell the core axiom of privacy activism is that it's a given that the trade is not worth it. It's why so much of the digital privacy movement is people who don't live in bad neighborhoods.

Of course that is more Mazlowe Hiearchy of needs. The truth is giving away privacy wouldn't help in bad neighborhoods because the reason it is a bad neighborhood is nobody with power cares. You will still get some combination of murder, robbed, and raped before a camera and they might get around to it eventually.
