We have a PIRACY problem, not a PRIVACY problem online.

54. Close, and there is a sub-thread going on, too

1. PRIVACY - is well established online, and if anyone doubts that, they can visit almost any web site online and find a link to their privacy policy. And if anyone violates your privacy (online or off) e.g. criminals/crackers/PIRATES whatever bad actor name you are comfortable with, can and are PROSECUTED when they VIOLATE a person's right to privacy.

2. PIRACY - is the act of STEALING ones private personal information and sharing it with others. Which is how the current illegal, unprecedented SPYING activities by our own gov can be characterized.

3. INTERNET - the internet is in no way inherently insecure/not-private. That is simply untrue. And people throw that around to try and argue that there is nothing that can be done against the gov stealing our private personal information, since we, according to that false theory, have forfeited our RIGHT to privacy simply by posting our data online, or according to some (one even in this thread) even having it on our computers.

Hopefully that clears things up.
