No offense, this is an extremely flawed argument. A common argument that I hear given for why surveillance is okay is “if you’re a good person, you’ve got nothing to hide”. But it really shouldn’t matter how much the actual act of surveillance affects you directly. Facebook, the NSA and CCP aren’t going to blackmail you with compromising images or whatever anyway. It’s not about the embarrassment. It’s about power. We live in the information age, where information is everything, and information is everywhere. Companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon etc. make literally billions off the information that they have. And with this money comes more power. Information that they use to control people through advertising. And of course the information the NSA has gives them far more power than any government agency has right to obtain and use. It doesn’t need to be proven that China’s government uses the information it gets from surveillance in the “west” to prevent any outside challenge on their authoritarian, genocidal regime. Russia’s government has influenced elections and referendums in the US and UK as well as starting all sorts of conspiracy theories that divert the public’s attention away from the real villains: those in power.
