Privacy is necessary in personal life, in business dealings, and -- yes -- in government as well. Government officials have to be able to correspond in confidence at times.
You are right. But each of us individually has to have the same ability to communicate in confidence as the government. My problem is that the government works (generally) towards hiding more and more of their activities (ACTA, for example), while simultaneously working to rip the veil from every aspect of the voters being able to work in the same level of confidence (George Hotz injunctions and discovery).
Government should be transparent, not the silly natterings I send to my girlfriend. As usual, they've completely gotten it upside down. And it's either going to change, or we're all going to be the worse for it.
