If I were to install a video camera in your bedroom would you like that? No? Why not, what do you have to hide?
My private life is non of their business as long as I don't commit crimes period!
Knowledge is power. You can see that nicely in totalitarian regimes. They collect data about you and really know then what you think of the system and if you have expressed your dislike for it at one point you'll become a suspect and perhaps get banned from getting a passport, might get send to prison on false accusations (because they don't say: we throw you into jail for not agreeing with the party, just look at Russia) , won't be getting admittance for your children to certain types of schools etc. That's the danger. We're preparing the infrastructure for the next dictatorship and they will have a much easier time controlling us than the Nazis or Commies ever had.
