It's people like you who are telling the US government that it's ok to surveillance citizens. With your logic, you are saying you have no reason to hide anything, so the government can keep tabs on you. Just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean you can become a victim of an error as well. Take this story http://www.wired.com/2015/10/familial-dna-evidence-turns-inn... where a man who "has nothing to hide" and innocent became the suspect in a murder due to him sharing similar DNA It could be you one day, you don't know.

Hey, I'm not telling the USGOV anything. I'm also pointing out that a lot of people have perfectly good reason to have default privacy level set to "full public", and it's neither weird or wrong. I responded to a HNer apparently bewildered by that fact.

I support you keeping whatever privacy level you like, but don't force me to hide things if I consciously, in full physical and mental capacity, decide I don't want to.
