Privacy, a relic of the past?
summary
Argues that privacy is a basic human right necessary for checks and balances and shows concrete abuses: wartime census maps later used to deport people, automated mass collection (a 1.9 million dataset in Utah) that fails to surface unknown terror plots, facial recognition and behavior monitoring at Schiphol, intrusive body scanners and biometric banking, and social scoring experiments like China social credit score; cites cases where surveillance backfires (a Montreal system used against a journalist) and urges switching to tools like Signal and Tor.
