We need these protections immediately, not 30 years from now. How do we start a movement that builds awareness of the degree of digital tracking and surveillance everyone is subject to?

The political dysfunction in the US means that a critical design feature of a digital economy, namely what data about individual behavior gets collected, passed around, merged and acted upon gets obscured by various interests.

Eg., pro-privacy is portrayed as "anti-business" when in fact the opposite is true. Creating masses of digital homeless people that have no "digital real estate" because whatever value in their digital footprints is immediately confiscated is not exactly the road to riches.

Extrapolating 'privacy is dead' means bank privacy (and financial privacy more general) is dead - somebody will always be frontrunning you and stealing any of your potential wealth. It also means that health privacy is dead (somebody can and will exploit your physical condition for their own gain) etc.

The logical conclusion is the segregation of society into hordes of data-transparent non-entities at the bottom and a minority of data-opaque overlords on top.

All in all an absurd, exploitative, deeply anti-human system that can only be compared to a regression to a slave society. It may yet come to pass and "flurish", to the extend that it can suppress the inherent instability of such an arrangement.
