>we need to solidify that freedom of privacy, rather than continue to consider it a privilege. When I posted that, I actually saw it the other way around: privacy as a principle, and riches as privilege. >I also think that we should allow the government some amount of freedom to protect us I agree.

Actually that's kind of the point, that government's main purpose is to protect the people and enforce the rule of law. There's some argument right now that government in America is not upholding that obligation (for example, laws are applied unequally depending on race and income, police overstepping their authority and police brutality, etc.).
