There is no doubt that the world of cameras, satellites and electronics everywhere have shrunk the zone of privacy down to a minimum.
It must not be allowed to shrink further, and, indeed it must be expanded. There can be no great souldom, no advanced individualism, no maverick existents, without a zone of privacy maintained around each individual by that individual, and the rest of society must honor this expression of universal but personal, human right.
Yes, some will sin and more rarely some may take advantage of that zone of privacy to plot great crimes against society. These exceptions and drawbacks to the right of privacy maintenance acknowledged, a far greater evil permeates society permanently by banning the zone of privacy.
Where personal privacy is disrespected, disallowed, and even outlawed by the state or cult, then there is no individualism allowed. All are pack members, mob constituents and wards of the collective, totalitarian state where all snitch on and betray all, and it is hell on earth.
The lack of privacy is criminal and wicked. It is selfish to deny others their private lives, their time alone with no one but themselves, a zone of personal freedom and expanse where the self can express itself and practice living and flourishing, his vital secrets known by none unless he wills to share them, or make public display of them.
