Playing Devils Advocate is one thing - justifying the unsolicited invasion
of an individuals privacy is another.

I am private person, to an extent. Do I have anything to hide? This can
answered twofold:

1/. No - I've nothing to embarrass me; humiliate; shock others; etc

2/. Yes - Knowledge is power; and an individual holding too much information
about another has a hold over that person. Then the consequences such as
manipulating the individual to meet you own ends can take place.

Simply, we all have a circle of trust; and even so we limit what we let each
know of one another. Why? We've all been in position one time or another
where another has held us to ransom; whether its your older brother, or the
bully in the school playground, or when you had the extra fag break at work
and a colleague effectually blackmails you by threatening to inform the
management.

My Privacy is my own. My private thoughts and actions are kept as such. We
all are the same in this respect, and this is a fundamental part of what
makes us individuals. Take that away, and we ARE NOTHING.
