Are you asking why humans need privacy? If you've done nothing wrong then nothing to hide? So yes open society might stop a crime. But at what cost? Big essay [0] below. But my top points are:
* The Panopticon experiment shows that constant surveillance has deleterious effects on all people, not just "bad" ones. It is a form of control. [1]
* Authoritarian regimes everywhere deploy information apparatus to control their people. Eg the Stasi [2], and now everywhere.
Do you really want to participate in a global, authoritarian, totalitarian society? That's what we're building here.
