It doesn't matter if you have nothing to hide. Allowing or encouraging the government to spy without good reason creates a government that spies without good reason. A government that thinks it's your boss. A government made of people, some of whom will take up those tools enthusiastically for their own personal gain or satisfaction or advantage. A government that thinks it has rights, as a separate entity from its citizens.

Fuck that.
