I'm not so sure. In fact, I think privacy is dying a slow, painful death by a thousand cuts.<p>Not because there aren't folks (myself included) who care about privacy and not because we haven't made some strides to protect individual privacy. We have, as the EFF's blog post outlines.<p>Unfortunately, it may well be too little, too late. Almost all service vendors snarf up as much data/PII as they can, and rafts of manufacturers, including appliance manufacturers (from TVs to washing machines to toaster ovens), auto makers, "smart" phone makers and on and on, with more snarfing up data every day.<p>Even if you care about this stuff and take steps to limit your digital footprint, unless you're willing to squat in a lean-to in the woods you'll need give up significant amounts of PII just to live in our technological society.<p>Since I'm not willing to go completely off the grid, I have to make compromises that jeopardize my privacy and data security every single day.<p>As such, despite what the EFF says (and I support the good work they do!), privacy is dying and we're allowing it to be drowned in the bath tub. :(
