The insidious argument that is often made, is that it is 'voluntary', so you needn't worry about it. The problem is that there is creep. Once a critical mass is 'volunteering' some major services require that you 'volunteer' or you can't have access to your service.

It's that same faulty logic of, "if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't worry about eavesdropping".
