There's a difference between having a right to not say anything or
maintain your secrets, or even live in seclusion, and the expectation to
have it where it doesn't exist.
Looking to the US constitution, all these arguments about privacy can be
taken from the 5th Amendment. In the States you have a right to remain
silent and it should not indicate guilt. This is an old philosophical
debate with good arguments on both sides.
Re-arguing it is always good -- especially in a society such as that of
the US where it is a right held sacrosanct. But it is simply moot in the
case of privacy - as the issues today are on whether it even exists or
can be expected to exist under certain conditions.
