I don't necessarily disagree, but the vast majority of people will do none of these things mentioned.
The real issue is that of a person's private life seeping into all of their interactions with society. A person could be easily controlled even in private settings if a misstep could land them without a job, ruin a marriage, or cost a person their freedom.
With that being said, the majority of people don't care about privacy. Almost all of us are oversharing (although the demographic on HN are likely more privacy-conscious than most). Either we're all going to get bitten in the ass, or somehow we'll adapt as a society to accept others more deeply (as the alternative is mutual destruction).
I'm quite privacy conscious myself, but when does our habits of privacy-first make us bigger targets than others who are not?
