    Good point, except that this, paying for services and still not getting any privacy, is a reality. But maybe your remark was ironic :)

      Paying for services and still not getting any privacy is largely a result of the equally naive attitude that a paid product is superior to a free one.

      In reality neither free nor paid is an indicator of quality and a lot of the time enforced regulations are the only thing that can really prevent a company or organization from putting its own self-interest over that of the customer whenever possible (even though some companies and organizations might do so even without being forced to).
