This is a notion that sounds great at first, but it's entirely shallow.

- There are tons of information pieces that functionally need to be private, for example passwords, and tons of information pieces that better just should be kept private for your own benefit, like medical records.

- You're not helping us customers. If every company knows everything about us, then every company can exploit our mental vulnerabilities to get us to buy more things we don't need.

- Privacy is a basic human need. Lack of privacy can lead to severe mental issues, as illustrated by Panopticons.
