Yes, privacy is a lure for siphoning user data. An ancient artifice like deity for raising funds for temples. Aka national security.
So that's what Tor working for the Navy and meeting with TLA and LE and mostly ignoring traffic analysis for ~20 years until some more squeaky wheels started to point out netflow and other readily done TA forms... was doing... raising funds for the ancient back orifice?

You know, maybe all of this encryption/privacy/security concern is outmoded. Maybe we're barking up the wrong tree here. Perhaps we should just create a happy community of people who know what the fuck they're doing. Why have privacy when you can make a community of trusted people? , and wait for everyone else to get their head out of their ass. Eventually it gets as big as the human population.
And just where on Earth do you propose being allowed to gather and perform and live this secession and independence community movement? So in this commune of no privacy you will masturbate wherever observed because "trusted people" and "privacy evolved away"? You will probably have to wait until privacy cryptocurrency becomes that big before being able to freely form such further random communities.
Privacy might just be the wrong direction with trusted peers and keeping out the javascripters.
There are overlay networks that use "trusted / known peers", such peers often do not remain such over time, so might end up being useful only to establish another anonymous random set of nodes.
