>How does Tor do anything meaningful about allowing me to both participate in society, and preserve my privacy and data ownership? This is not a technology problem.
I can't speak for your specific situation, but I'll give you an example. In Australia we have mandatory data retention laws. If you don't think private companies (that are exposed to data breaches [1]) should have access to your activity then Tor is the solution to that. That's a more practical solution than waiting for legislation which may never come.
