While you are technically correct, you’re implying that the “natural” state is a good enough state and nothing should be done about it. My house has walls and a door; it doesn’t mean anyone can do anything they want with this. Even if the windows are clear, you’re not supposed to install a camera that watches my bedroom. Even if the door is open, you’re not supposed to open. A a society it has been decided that we should respect each other, respect each other’s privacy. We have created rules, some written down and some implicit, for how to interact with each other. That is the point of OP. The “natural” state of whatever exists with the technical means, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok (or not ok): do we want to respect each other ? To take care of each other ? I very much want that, because the technical means should be only a means to an end, and in that end I want respect. The technical means, to me, must adapt to the end, not the other way around.
