I don't think this is true. You still have the privacy of thought, of everything that's in your mind. For me a lot of privacy is the choice to tell something or not tell something and the fact that that choice is mine to make no matter what. Your comment might be better as "There is no physical privacy in public" but even that is not 100% true. It is more true in the UK I think.With non-internet things, in real life, you have no expectation of privacy in public or on another's private property

Well much like in public, no one can read your thoughts on the internet either, unless you choose to put them into text and transmit them, much like choosing to speak in public. I still don't see much of a difference.
