Generally yes. When someone says "I give up this freedom" it's often because they don't use it or it doesn't affect them. The problem is that what they are really saying is "I give up this freedom for myself and everyone else." This is bad when you have a large group willing to give up a freedom they already don't use or care about that only affects a minority of people. The problem comes that a different, overlapping large group is willing to give up another freedom and now the minority affected by that loss was part of the first large group. It's easy for this to continue until everyone has lost a freedom they enjoyed because they signed up with some large group, often thinking they were 'right'. TL;DR: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
