[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1591803, member: 71075"] It's always easier to over/underreact when it's not you. ;) This might just be me but I've never quite understood this thinking. All too often, I see people defend really important information that can be used to damage or malign someone (such as financial records, social insurance numbers, etc) but don't take the same precautions or have the same concerns with their other data. For example, what about personal family photos, letters you've got stored that you wrote to someone in confidence or emails with potentially embarrassing information? Or, at the very least, what about the violation of one's personal space? I find that these things are quite often glossed over, which returns me to my critique of the "I don't do anything wrong so I don't have anything to hide thinking" - just because something isn't damaging doesn't mean it isn't private and shouldn't be treated as such.
