I don't always understand why people expect others to do the "protecting" of privacy for us.

Yes, I agree that there should be standards and measures for privacy protection from institutions and businesses. Leave it to a few bad actors to ruin everything for the majority.

Ultimately, if you're truly concerned of your privacy on this day and age, use the available tools and be mindful of your surroundings and what you're willing to put out there.

"There is no freedom without privacy", blah blah, sounds like whining with expectations from everyone else to do the work for you so you don't have to change and make sacrifices.
