Wire-tapping is a thing. Sensitive microphones are a thing. "The Thing" is a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

Again, you act like not being able to wire-tap is a new thing. How long did humanity survive without wires?

The ability to have a private conversation that remains a secret forever is a fundamental human right that goes back a hundred thousand years.

I'm not sure we agree on the definition of "fundamental human right" -- are you using it to mean "an aspect of fundamental reality"?
