Is privacy a right in the digital age? Should you have any expectation of privacy?

The UN seems to think so:

as does the Electronic Frontier Foundation:

Some in the American Judiciary disagree however:

as does the NSA, who have been violating the American Constitution for at least 20 years:

Whatever side you fall on, keeping your information safe is not just about privacy, its also about security - which is protecting your data. HowToGeek sum it up well here:
