It would be better to say "you can't have freedom without having control over your privacy" AKA your sovereignty over what and to whom you reveal information
If someone has any information they wish to know about you at all times, and you have none about them, who do you think has power and influence in that situation?
Just apply it to a game of cards as an analogy
Yeah I agree with that.
If you don't have the option to be private you don't have freedom.
But if you don't have the option to be free unless you have privacy then you're not free.
If that is so, then it is just a fact. You are not free.
The point is having the options of privacy and anonymity can open a new realm of freedom you wouldn't have otherwise had under those conditions which can potentially even aid getting your "real" freedom back
