I prefer Alex Pentland:

You have a right to possess your own data, that you control the data that is collected about you, and that you can destroy, remove or redeploy your data as you wish.

Forget it. It's not going to happen. We've batted this around for a long time. Kiss it goodbye. For two really important reasons:

1) The potential gains to be had from collecting more and more data is HUGE, both financially and societally.

2) There's no one that has a strong financial arm to PREVENT erosion of privacy from happening. That is to say that it's in no one's best interest to their pocket books to keep data private.
