I've lived in a small island community where everyone knows each other's business, and it's not too bad. But it does take a certain type of personality to be happy with it. A lot of humans are not comfortable with everyone knowing everything about them. And it's not everyone else knowing my business that I'm worried about. It's the government. Imagine that the UK ends up with someone like Trump in charge, and they push for a law that says "anyone criticising me or my decisions will be fined". In a world with E2E that is impossible. In the world the UK spy services want to build, this is routine. Privacy is good for democracy
