People that say that they don't care about privacy because they have nothing to hide have not really thought deeply about the issues.

Because rights are not just individual, they are collective, and what may not be of value to you today may have value to an entire population, an entire people, or an entire way of life tomorrow. And if you don't stand for it, then who will?”
