Um no, that is not only impossible on a planet of 7 billion, it is unwise to be isolated.
Again there is a difference between protecting privacy, which is a value to be protected, and the separate issue of how western societies work in how laws everyone live under get made.
MYOB, is an over simplification too. Up until the 70s for example, even after women gained the right to vote long before. It was considered a family matter if a man hit his wife. Today however, laws in many cases have an abuser arrested automatically if the police have the probable cause upon the scene.
MYOB also unfortunately allowed priests forever to simply get shuffled to another church after accusations of molestation.
Point is it isn't that simple.
I am not fond of the either/or oversimplification of anything.
Even with my neighbors. I had a couple of occasions early in the morning where I didn't realize how loud I was shouting in my house. I didn't realize I had woken his kid up at 5am. Yea, sorry, but he had every right to say something to me and I don't blame him. I apologized and have since made concerted effort to be mindful of time of day when being loud.
It's not an "oversimplification." You just tailor a law around the concept. If someone is committing a crime, then obviously it wouldn't apply. But if someone is going out of there way to be an annoyance or tell others what they have to think or do, then we cover them in itching powder for 24 hrs. I can guarantee you they'll be less likely to do it again.
