Privacy is no longer a presumption. It has been systematically eroded out of existence for every regular human being who is subject to corporate data collection and government surveillance regimes. Every new piece of technology exacerbates this issue even more and legislatures are racing for who gets to write the most draconian surveillance law in the world. Solutions require proper understanding of these threats before they can be mitigated. Successful reversal of these trends is possible but it necessitates proliferation of education in how everyone can protect themselves and what we can do to fight back.
