​​ Do law-abiding citizens really need privacy?

Perhaps the most popular question privacy advocates are asked is "Why?" If a person does not commit crimes, does not break the laws, and does not do anything wrong, then he has nothing to hide, right? And if you have nothing to hide , you don't need privacy.

In a perfect world, this would indeed be logical. Unfortunately, our world is far from perfect.

Personal data on the Internet is hunted not only by governments, but also by criminals. Data on geolocation, business activity, and social circle is the most valuable information used by cybercriminals and fraudsters, as well as by more violent criminals.

Governments, however, are also not infallible. Laws are constantly changing, and their wording is deliberately vague. And who can guarantee that a law-abiding citizen will not become a person involved in another show trial over "the enemy of the people"?

Utopia's goal is to make our less-than-perfect world safer and freer. And for the sake of achieving this, privacy is absolutely necessary today.
