Honestly, caring about privacy rights is pretty hypocritical when we're all just giving our data to tech companies anyway.

The interesting thing is that declaring privacy dead becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that lets corporations and governments off the hook, but we've literally seen privacy protections expand in places like the EU with GDPR, proving the fight works. If privacy truly were dead, we wouldn't need laws to protect what's already gone.

This reminds me of that scene in "1984" where Winston realizes too late that Big Brother was always watching, and by then there's nothing left to fight for. Privacy isn't dead unless we collectively decide to stop resisting, and that's the whole point of the fight. We're still writing the ending to this story, not watching the credits roll.
