“You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.” That view was expressed by Sun Microsystems CEO/Founder Scott McNealy in 1999, nearly a quarter century ago, when many social media giants didn’t even exist, big data was not yet a big deal, and our communications weren’t primarily digital. Today we live in a 24/7 connected world, where personal information and messages can be easily tracked, shared, and used in ways we don’t fully comprehend. They also can be accessed by bad actors and other unauthorized users, prompting a zero trust approach to security that assumes that anyone attempting access cannot automatically be trusted. After the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, the theoretical harms of a digital dossier of our private data and communications are becoming all too real. Yet such digital communications and data can be vital in fighting national security threats, child trafficking, and more. We are left with a Pandora’s box, at risk of unleashing countless complications and troubles if we miscalculate. It’s hard to trust that things will just work out as they should. The privacy landscape has changed, and we shouldn’t just get over it.
