I get your point and idea. And I agree, there should be a symbol. But in a world full of symbols, where there is lot of symbols that overlap or mean the same thing, it's not a great thing to ad more symbols.
I would suggest, that people instead use the symbol for human rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Logo
This logo stand for rights and freedom, which is not in opposition to anything, but for something. Article 8 in the Human Rights, are about the right to privacy:

This should be enough. I'd suggest people use this, and support human rights in general.
