Might a less vitriolic response be more productive here? Given the altruism that leads this endeavor, strong negativity might best be delayed until a more holistic understanding is gained.

Broadly speaking, if we want privacy efforts to help in tangible ways, it's important to limit restrictions to where they do provable good. The alternative is restrictions that apply only to us - and not those with motivation (financial, power) to use private data for their own ends.
