I agree that technology &#x2F;enables&#x2F; behaviours, but it&#x27;s people who use&#x2F;abuse it and the society who needs to instate the controls.<p>If we attack this purely from a technological angle and manage to ramp up to ubiquitous E2E encryption, society can ban encryption: jailtime for possession of data that the government can&#x27;t read. Is that a technology problem or a social problem?<p>&gt; Most people won&#x27;t give up their Facebook or e-mail, or start learning how to do PGP because some vague notion of &quot;privacy&quot;.<p>This is a defeatist attitude. There&#x27;s always going to be people who don&#x27;t care. What&#x27;s the voter turnout rate in your country? I&#x27;m sure you can find some starving people who will pick food over privacy, or some junkies who&#x27;ll pick drugs. Those people are not part of the privacy conversation because they have other priorities.<p>Anyhow: the goal is not to nag everybody into locking up all their personal information. The goal is (or should be) to build a society where people have control over the dissemination of their personal details&#x2F;communication, rather than &quot;everything is collected by powerful entities, deal with it&quot;.
