Not really. Robbing your privacy cannot result in your death. Look how many times robbery goes wrong resulting in the victims death.

> Robbing your privacy cannot result in your death.

I submit that that statement is false, and removing someone's privacy rights can indeed result in their death.

And that's not even really the point: I am ok with there being a price to privacy, even if that is some amount of deaths that might otherwise be reduced.

I would question living a life like that being worth it. It horrifies me to think I would't even know otherwise should I be born in a country like that.
