We can agree to disagree on this. Even on this example you gave, I'm not entirely sure it's harmful to society. Having worked in the corporate world, there are just so many regulations that — from what I've seen — there is pervasive non-compliance and the covering up of the non-compliance. I suspect that if every single corporate regulation was effectively enforced, a significant fraction of economic activity would grind to a halt.

People often say the same thing about environmental regulation too...

I hope you realize what a poor argument (to lawmakers) that is, especially if your goal is to advocate for privacy.
