For those opposed to the right to privacy, privacy -is- the problem.

There are (gasp) those who would give up liberty (or rather, have
others give up their liberty), in order to (attempt to, but ultimately
fail to) control so-called liberty abusers.

'Give up freedom for safety, and you will lose both' as the saying goes.

Applicable regardless of the right chosen to discuss/think about:
speech/ expression, movement/travel, learning/reading, defence/bearing
arms, etc etc.
