The modern state of privacy I think would be most accurately descriped as a world wide sonar.
AKA: you can see everyone on facebook, but only if YOU get a facebook account yourself.
While many complain that the government has more searching powers and such, I think this may be the first time since the inception of government that the citizen is almost on a level playing field with the government in terms of being able to scope out information.
Sure 'big brother' may be watching you, but a majority of citizens have a device that can shoot video that's the size of their palm. So in essence everyone can watch them back. I assure you, in the 60s big brother still existed, but you couldn't record them in action unless you had a 30 pound hunk of equipment. Not really discreet.
