Freedom of speech does not shrink. If you live in a country where
Certain Topic may not be discussed or Certain Opinions may not be
expressed or Certain Articles of Clothing are banned for ideological
reasons -- you don't have freedom of speech.

I define it as a spectrum and not binary. That is my opinion. I think you know
what I mean.

As to privacy: a sufficiently paranoid individual would simply take it
for granted that none exists in today's world, at least in the more
advanced countries. And then not worry about it.

That sounds more like a future slave in socialist hell to me. But horses for courses!
