Do you mean that both the state and corporations will make you a generous gift of privacy? Right when it goes against their best interest of grabbing more power and profit?
Nope.
If you want privacy, like any other rights, you will need to fight for them. Rights can only be gained by a fight; whatever is given is a privilege, which is often taken back as easily as is granted.
So be prepared to (continue to) fight for your rights: in courts, in Congress, etc, but also by choosing less convenient, less featureful, more expensive devices and software which does not violate the rights you care about. And no, the majority of the consumers won't care until you show some signs of winning.
that's exactly correct. We have to accept discomfort NOW (to our convenience, wallets) so that everyone can benefit later.
We cannot give up.
