"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." People have a history of abusing the power they have over people. The government isn't inherently untrustworthy because it is the government, it is people that are inherently untrustworthy when handed power without oversight and checks on that power. Having total information on an individual is power over that individual. I don't want my friends or neighbors knowing everything I say and do. I don't want my insurance company taking things I say or do out of context as an excuse to raise my rates or drop me. I don't want the local White Nationalist group to know my background or political opinions. I don't want Google, who has the ability to disable my decade old e-mail account and make my digital life difficult, to know I'm working with a competitor.
