...thus making them available to the the only group left without easy access.

My larger point being that it's time to shift our concern from privacy - to disproportionate privacy.

It isn't randos who routinely harm/exploit us with our own data but those in power.

I suggest that equal privacy would serve us far better than privacy laws that target us and few else.

For equal privacy, the default starts out somewhere near: If you can see mine, I can see yours. If you're going to restrict just us, 1) you need to openly+clearly justify it and 2) the restrictions need to sunset.
