The argument conflates privacy with secrecy. What we want is not to be allowed to "scheme nefariously in secret" but to enjoy ourselves without being watched, in private.
Also: just knowing that you *could* be watched *does* change your behavior, even if you have absolutely nothing to hide.

Never thought of that way. We all want security; personal, financial, employment, etc. Parents want their children safe from harm. Thinking of this way, I now realize that companies like Flock are exploiting that desire for security by offering a false hope.
