You are making an even more fundamental mistake: knowing that you're addressing people asking how to act in their day-to-day lives--and yet talking about morality and how other people "should" be treating them, instead of talking about actions and consequences, and what they must do to protect themselves.
To parallel your "blaming the victims" rhetoric: walking down the street late at night, will a sense of injustice protect me from a rapist? No; kickboxing classes and a gun will protect me from a rapist. The sense of injustice is for when I'm safe at home and can write a letter to my congressman.
In the moment where you are actually trying to protect a real secret, a sense of injustice that there are corporations and governments willing to pilfer your secrets will not keep your privacy. Encryption and anonymity will keep your privacy.
