Snowden, Assange, China, Russia it's all uncorrelated and a distraction to the "Nothing to hide" argument. You can review it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument I will also add: that hiding has a very successful track record (for all life forms) over time, because you don't ever really know what the future holds. I also have a pet theory that there is underlying physics/information theory here that explains this (similar to thermodynamics/entropy, might even be the same phenomenon) -> too much concentrated asymetric information becomes a single point of failure, and yields brittle systems. Stated a different way: As the dependencies on a single process rise, the probability of the entire system failing approaches 1.
