Is it though? the talk about privacy often ignores what lack of privacy could potentially mean. A fully covered surveillance state with proper AI and fast respondent police can get rid of entire types of crimes entirely. Burglary, Rubbery, Kidnapping, stranger rape, many types of violent outside crimes.
There is obviously a problem with abuse of power and trust, but that exists with all types of government action, more so with enforcement, would you not give up your privacy so that you don't need to lock your door anymore? letting your kid go play without chaperones?
Not to mention such arguments as the immense convenience of everything being connected and knowing who you are.
