Privacy is similar to property rights in this guise. Facebook is like your backyard or even your home for many, you don't mind people you invite in see the pictures on the mantle, wall, or whatnot. You would mind if they start rummaging through the house though.

So in regards to privacy we treat it like property. Governments which don't support good property rights are not going to care one whit about privacy and those who come after privacy will eventually tread on property rights.

People need to understand it as something to be protected just as you would your physical stuff and work towards having it treated similarly in government.
