Next time someone tells you they don't care about privacy rights because they don't have anything to hide, use this response from American hero Edward Snowden, which he gave in a recent interview with the Guardian.
"People who say they don't care about privacy because they have got nothing to hide have not thought too deeply about these issues. What they are really saying is I do not care about this right.

Snowden also told the Guardian that the recent news-- that a judge found NSA's spying on phone conversations illegal, and that congress was working to restrict NSA's powers, that more needs to be done to curb NSA surveillance two years after his disclosures.
