My understanding is that in Japan there is a strong convention of preserving the illusion of privacy even when there is little privacy in fact, in part because of high population density. "Don't look, don't tell". It seems to me that in the brave new electronic world there is and perhaps can be little real privacy, yet it also seems to me that the illusion of privacy is important.
