I think it's almost always an error to frame technology discussions in terms of "privacy" rather than "consent." The word "privacy" is just too ambiguous, and muddies the distinction between a system's security model and what a user has reasonably consented to.
That sounds reasonable if you can convince users to agree that those are the concerns and get them to use that new language. However, as long as users (real users, not just forum posters) have "privacy" as a concern, we shouldn't distance ourselves from their concern w/ newspeak.

Also, when we use the more vague language like "privacy" and try to address concerns with that broad term, I think it motivates us to solve more of their concerns. More precise language that lets us break "privacy" down into smaller nuanced points encourages us to disregard some.
