Hmmm..... A soldier in combat, a surgeon in the operating room, a driver on the highway, there isn't privacy (or any right to privacy) in those situations. So how can there be loss of privacy? These are public acts, for which each individual is (and should be) publicly accountable. In my imagined u-or-dys-topia, public spaces would be defined as places observable from public video cameras. Private spaces would be places without cameras. There would have to be warning signs placed at the entrances to all private spaces (Warning! Anything can happen here, without consequences! Enter at your own risk!). Some people would choose to live their entire lives in private spaces (anarchy). Others would never be out of sight of a camera (Max Nanny State).
