We have enjoyed a lot of privacy because of a lack of ability to violate it.

I mean that there was always the structural incentive to completely ignore privacy. It just wasnt technically feasible.

I wouldn’t assume any structural limit to what a government, corporation, etc wants to know about you. The day reading someone’s mind is possible is the day you realize the world doesn’t recognize any sort of right to private thought.
