people who do not care about their privacy missing a vital piece of the puzzle: everyone is saving their own privacy and key elements of the privacy of others. By lowering the need for their own privacy and the right to keep secrets, they also say that no one should ever trust a secret to them.
Privacy is often confused with an individual privilege, when there is a collective need.
Without privacy, laws can not be broken. And if laws - formal and informal - can not be broken, they are rarely questioned. When rules are not questioned, a company stops in its tracks.
There are no long, people who are born homosexuals were criminal from birth. Long after that had been abolished, homosexuality was considered a mental illness. (In Sweden, the classification-as-a-disease ended when thousands and thousands of people called sick one morning, declaring that they "felt a little gay today.")
If today's mass surveillance laws had been introduced in 1950, there would have been a civil rights movement. There never would have been a human rights movement to establish gender equality. People who are born homosexuals are still criminal from birth, only to be born in a certain way. And that's just one of many areas where values rose - and rose for the better
This demonstrates the collective damage caused by the mass surveillance, and frankly, by law enforcement that is too effective
But there is another collective aspect of private life that went unquestioned - and that is the fact that people are not only keep the secrets of their own; they also keep other secrets entrusted to them, for individuals, businesses, or even spiritual reasons if necessary.
After all, if you do not mind the government read your mail and text with the usual careless shrug, "I have nothing to hide", it means that you do bother reading the conversations you meet with other people . and this correspondence was not only a secret yours ;. , it was also the people of the respective secret you were corresponding If someone confides in you that they were attacked, for example, "I have nothing to hide" means that you will abandon not only the secrets of your own, but the secrets confided to you too , including someone close to you was assaulted.
It comes down to the observation that the statement "I have nothing to hide "translates to" you can not trust anything in me for some reason. "
confidentiality remains your own responsibility.
