The worst part is I think most of the privacy destroying tech stuff makes for some fascinating problems (as the comments around speculation on the NSA tapping fibre a while back demonstrated). People just can't help looking at problems like that even when the consequences just aren't good from a civil liberties perspective. I think that's what makes it great HN material.
