Privacy isn't free will.
That's like saying telephones are magic because they limit who can hear you.
In both cases it's a less than absolute form of privacy too since it's still possible to tap into it with enough effort and technology.
>arbitrary
Never arbitrary. There is nothing anyone can point to in personal behavior that exists beyond causality. At best the word "whimsical" might seem to apply because the behavior isn't strictly necessary for survival, but even in seemingly whimsical / erratic behaviors there's always going to be causes. Behavior doesn't just appear fully formed out of nowhere.
