with the advent of strong encryption it is in the best interests of multinationals 
and governments (+1% and Capital) that there are other ways of obtaining data.

it would be trivial for the same players to make every person in the world 100% secure 
and private, if that was the objective.

to social media & multinationals, people are now the products and the
products must add, share and create new products. There are different
rules, different goals and privacy has no future as people are
similar to chickens in a mass scale chicken factory. The chickens are
poor dumb creatures that simply exists to be eaten, completely
ignorant of the full and final purpose of their meaningless existence.
