Actually, freedom is a priority, because the other things are
consequences of the absence or presence of it.

For example: Imagine a scenario where one is to priorize the goal of
privacy and uses non-[free/libre] software, in this scenario, there's no
privacy since you can't be sure of what the program is doing (this is
often the case for non-free JavaScript). In the other side of the
example, if it's free/libre software, then society **has the chance** to
achieve privacy. The phrase "has the chance" was chosen so as to note
that free/libre software **isn't always** suitable for the society's
needs, but the essential freedoms allow society to adapt it to their
needs over time.
