Well the reasoning is quite simple actually, if you care for freedom then you should care for privacy.

Sorry, but this sounds like the cr*p touted around by politicians and over zealous "patriots", along the lines of "if you don't support the war then you are not a patriot and therefore must support the terrorists".

Despite what most on HN would like to believe, outside of the tech community most people don't care about their privacy being invaded, and the OP is entitled to his opinion of not caring just as you (and I) are too overly caring. I believe that is the true definition of freedom, to be able to make ones own choice?
