The risks haven't materialized so far; what exactly are you thinking is going to happen?

  Some of the risks have in fact happened... When someone who works in a high government office is slut-shamed out of their position because their personal email was gobbled up that's a pretty big concern. The doesn't even go to show how many people were shamed into doing things other than quit their job... Or stand down as a political opposition... or shut up. That's just part of it. These things are happening and you just don't think about them, or hear about them, because for the most part people have short term memories or are completely complacent. Hell, look at the celebrities whose accounts were hacked, and embarrassing, personal photos leaked, not by the govt in this case, but our governments have this same information. You don't think they'd use it to get you to spy on someone, or inform on others? When you have a surveillance state, everyone is an agent of oppression.

      The point is, with ever increasing information gathering, archival and analysis, anyone can be targeted in any number of ways.
