MODERATORS
Ah, yes, if you've done nothing wrong argument.
I still care whether government is being properly restrained in applying it's power against any individual citizen, because that citizen represents all of us.
Innocent until proven guilty, and all that
I don't care. I'm just saying the why.
TBH privacy advocates have largely put themselves into the position of the window ME UAC prompt. They are deaf to it and IMO it's a large part of the privacy community treating everything like an 11 and refusal to look towards a user friendly threat model.
