There is a very simple reason to demand privacy. We generally speak of organizations, companies, and governments that are seeking the penetrate the veil of individual privacy. And I think that leads people to forget that these entities are made up of people. And people can, and do, do bad things. A soft example is Snowden stating that NSA operators regularly pass around intercepted nude photo/video from people who had their privacy unjustly compromised: "These are seen as the fringe benefits of surveillance positions.." But the particularly disconcerting issue is that this information can be used against individuals. This article from the EFF highlights the FBI's actions against MLK: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/fbis-suicide-letter-dr-martin-luther-king-jr-and-dangers-unchecked-surveillance https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/fbis-suicide-letter-dr... That letter was the FBI, posing as a disillusioned black supporter, detailing various embarrassing information that had been collected on MLK and encouraging him to commit suicide -- stating that it would all be published otherwise. And these couple of examples are only stuff that's being done by the "good guys." Information can, and will, be leaked, stolen, traded, and so on. One can only imagine the sort of things the "bad guys" could cook up.
