That's why privacy isn't a human right, because unless you've got the means and resources to hide away, there's no guarantee that others can't find out what you're up to.

And i'm not saying privacy is useless or that no one should have it, it's absolutely essential nowadays, but it's a privilege, just like wealth.

But that's not the point, is it? Privacy is not about asking people to "unhear". Privacy is about people not putting effort in trying to discover what is none of their business, or presenting bullshit claims that it is "supposedly" their business to know, or that they are allowed to decide what your intentions are and therefore they "need to know".

I would not argue they must be oblivious or cripple their senses. I would argue that they have no right to demand info they aren't privileged to.

And note that article 12 of UDHR states this in the same fashion: ".. subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, .." This clearly puts the 'extra effort' in the one interfering. Hence it can very much be a human right.
