I don't think that's what he was trying to say. He meant your message is "just give up". I didn't see anything in your post about "what do we do now that privacy was defeated". You just said "give up everyone. Stop trying to make privacy happen". There's a difference there.

Well ... you live without it.

Ordinary people have been living under the whims of capricious deities from thousands of years.
