I think this is a result of applying 19th century concepts of privacy to a 21st century world.

I don't disagree. Privacy case law has mostly evolved in the context of large corporate or government entities violating the privacy of individuals, because those entities were the ones with access to surveillance and broadcasting or publishing technologies.
