Most people are happy with censorship and a lack of freedom of speech, because most people have nothing to say, and a lack of such never affects them. Most people are fine not having any privacy, because they believe that they have nothing to hide. The danger comes from making it impossible to publish unpopular things or publish anonymously, or making privacy impossible. There is a percentage of people for whom these things are not only important but essential, and when we close off those options then we lose the important aspects of society facilitated by those people. Those aspects benefit everyone. We should pay very close attention to the complaints of those people, even if (or perhaps especially because) they are a minority of users. |
