Use what works
Start tossing those who violate this privacy in jail, for long stretches, and pay a fraction of the attention to those trials we give people like O.J. Simpson and Brittany Spears.

That, or do what supermarkets do: raise the list price, then give a discount (to the previous price) to those who agree to waive privacy. Works almost all the time, and when it doesn't you rake in the surcharge.

Talk about privacy, rights, etc. is cheap. How cheap? See how much people will settle for in return for losing them. The usual answer is, "not much."

On the other hand, if you promise the impossible (such as personal control over electronic records) you just set yourself up to be shown a liar.
