Relentless technological progress means that whatever threatens our privacy today is nothing compared to technology 20 or 30 years from now. As much as we value our privacy, there are strong motives for violating privacy. Crime and terrorism can scare the public into accepting privacy invasions. There are enormous profits to be made in targeted advertising (e.g., Google) and those who benefit will lobby the government for lenient privacy protections. So we need to be aggressive and forward looking in protecting privacy. Great post, Mike.
