No, Privacy is Not Dead: Beware the All-or-Nothing Mindset
Privacy is only dead if we let it die. Be careful about the all-or-nothing mindset in data privacy, it can do more damage than good to the cause. While striving for improvements, do not forget to cheer and celebrate each small win.
I agree with you and the premise, in general.
Unfortunately even the little bits of data that are gathered can form a bigger picture over even a few years. See the recent acquisition of Ancestry.com by Blackstone (a finance company, IIRC) - now pretty much all of us have some of our genealogy held by them. Why would a finance company want that data(rhetorical question).

I like this article. Perfect is the enemy of good and all that, and trying to keep some privacy is worth it, especially now.
Thanks for the kind words!
