And then, we pretend we are surprised why the majority of adults don't care about privacy.

Why would they? They grew up being 100% controlled with 0 privacy. They don't even know it doesn't have to be like that. Then, it was their parents violating their privacy, now it's government and corporations.

Privacy is a privilege granted relative to age and maturity.

Most 5-year olds should be allowed to close the bathroom door while doing their business, they should not be permitted to access the internet privately.

A five year old is not prepared to engage online with privacy. They have not had the necessary training yet. They will not get that training unless you are there to show them how to negotiate that world. They will not magically learn how to protect themselves if you just leave them to figure it out themselves.

		That description of "100%" means the lack of privacy they're objecting to is one going a lot lot past five years old. Your first comment didn't mention age, so they made a comment about a broader interpretation of the idea.

I was never controlled in any way that may remotely violate my privacy. In fact, glad that nothing ever happened to me, because it could have. But for a long time I was not worried about my online visibility…

I do not agree at all with this conclusion.
