The argument I have against this is we now have near perfect surveillance and this isn't happening. I can be a part of a far left socialist movement and spread my ideas as easily as I can be part of this crazy new nazi movement. And both of those ideologies are rampant on the internet, but nobody is being arrested for it (at least not until they do something stupid). I understand in the past this wasn't the case, but as of now it's pretty difficult to stop ideas. And when/if you do stop them the internet history is right there for martyrs to be made. I'd argue with little to no privacy the government actually has less power in situations like this. Because the lack of privacy extends to what the government is doing also. Cameras/microphones/eyes everywhere means it's much more difficult to get away with a lot of the covert insanity that was happening before. I would say things like Snowden/Panama Papers/Wiki leaks/many other examples are showing that having privacy can actually benefit the people in power more than the average Joe. Joe Blow doesn't want his dildo collection known about, the government doesn't want (insert insane things like funding drug cartels/terrorist organizations) to be known. All in all I'd say sacrifice knowledge your dildo collection for the greater good. That said I do believe privacy still needs to be a thing. I hope it is a thing again in the future. But I actually don't know how horrible it is that it's gone away. People might just have to tell the truth for a while, which might benefit society in its current corrupt state?
