Thank you. Tracing our every move and our every thought is a clear human rights violation. Slavery is alive and well.

probably wise to have a new word for it other than slavery, though I sympathize with the sentiment.

Even more so because actual(old school) slavery still exists in a lot of places.

Yes, economic slavery. Perfect word to describe the situation, regardless how hurt some might feel or think about it. Let's call it what it is.

Not being snarky, but under which legal system? Maybe in the EU to some extent? AFAIK, the U.S. does not classify privacy as a human right, though there are people who believe it should be.

Human rights, unless explicitly protected by a society's law, do not exist in a practical sense.
