The problem with that argument is with people who argue poorly. The American Revolution required privacy which means we went to war. Ergo, the response is then, "What are you trying to overthrow the government?"
They don't fundamentally see the need for privacy. They don't understand the value of privacy until they're having weekly home inspections for health purposes (read: contraband). Then the response is, "You think the government is going to shore up enough manpower to start searching everyone's home on a weekly basis?" Well, no. But as a former servicemember, I lived that life. It's the same thing they're doing with your digital information, but instead of the known inspection where you can hide something, it's everything at all times.
Instead of addressing the point, they deflect the argument.
