Privacy is a <i>way</i> of limiting governments&#x27; power, and singular attempts to limit power don&#x27;t seem all that effective. So why wouldn&#x27;t we try everything we can? Readily giving up one protection in hope of replacing it with another is a great way to be left with neither.<p>Furthermore, the definition of &quot;abuse&quot; isn&#x27;t universal. If 80% of people think some self-contained behavior should be prevented, then lacking privacy the remaining 20% will be abused with no way to change it.
