I don't think digital 'vana vaas' by not using any digital technology for private data is a practical solution. It is not how often do you use your private data, but who gets to decide when and whom to share. The point is not if I'm stupid to carry nude photos or any other private data, but trusting other people who has no interesting in keeping that data private. The solution is to never have any digital private data, but to protect in a way that is available to the person who you want to share it with. Your argument seems to be coming from Zuckerberg or Eric Schmidt, who says there is no privacy on the internet. Have you ever shared any digital data with anyone that is intended only for the recipient and not the world?
