yes, I know - but there is a difference between privacy and secrecy.

Privacy is the things anyone can work out by looking at me, secrecy is the stuff I actively hide.

The cost of breaching privacy on mass scale has dropped simply because now everyone publishes everything about themselves.

Breaching secrecy is still a manual intensive effort as it eve has been.




People are not publishing this data willingly or knowingly.

That's your disconnect with reality.
