Not, 'privacy in public' - a bit too cute for oxymoron manufacture. Maybe a less-compact, more pointed phrase -

We have not yet had more than token debate in the related areas of, private and Corporate accumulation of data - the 'intentions', usage and protection from theft (?) of certain such databases. So the problem extends clearly beyond just the initial topic of these threads:

Proliferation of cameras used by government.

(I'm sure that our proposed draft of new legislation shall prove compelling to the legislators, and prompt immediate hearings in all states - obviating any need for spray paint.)
