So what I can understand from your comment is that it basically is a matter of right to privacy. It isn't so much about what you are looking at or doing, but that you can do it with anonymity. Am I getting close to the general idea?
Yeah, pretty much spot on. One argument I somewhat like (it's got its flaws of course) is that even if you agree wholeheartedly with the government, you still benefit from the freedom of speech. There is also a bit more conspiracy minded argument that you can never know what the government (or any group with access) might turn your data into or use it for at a later point. Dates can be changed, passwords remembered, and photos smudged to turn a harmless activity into a felony. But like I said, that's a bit far.
