I need my privacy to be respected. Google et al. would beg to differ.

A certain debit card company needs people to overdraft and pay back their accounts to take profit. The overdrafter's need the card issuer to not lock them out or overpenalize so they can try to get out of dire financial straits.

The U.S. wants a fair, just legal system. Prosecutors and law enforcement need the slack to focus on only pursuing "the worst cases".

Balancing acts are a fact of life.

The needs of these organizations are not needs of human beings, but of systems created by humans. If they don't serve the needs of all, then they don't follow the principle. What you're describing is what I refer to as strategies, not needs.

Here's some clarification:
