I do find this an interesting notion. Because the internet transcends national boundaries and government jurisdiction, it encourages people to think of themselves as part of a global humanity, without loyalty to a specific government or group, and without loyalty to those who try to invade privacy for corporate or nationalist reasons. It's easy to forget that the concept of nation states and nationalism is a relatively new one and not necessarily worth of respect. Perhaps the internet and sharing and protecting our own data will help to obsolete nations and encourage people to be loyal to ideas, not brands or polities.
