Its absolutely not a true statement, but you have to consider your actions in this. Posting something to facebook/twitter will never be private. Gmail isn't private, AWS isn't private, etc.

If you want privacy, stop exposing yourself.

That said, privacy in email is easy (gpg/pgp/SMIME), privacy in browsing is easy (VPN), chatting not so hard (OTR) and there's a few other things...
