I understand. But I think that privacy is a meaningful notion even when it doesn't mean protection from powerful adversaries. Smaller or small adversaries are as bad a big adversaries (sometimes they may be even worse). I also think that when groups [A] and [B] become larger and stronger, this does not harm group [C], instead it makes it stronger.
