It's all about choice for me. The choice of showing what I want to whom I want when I want to. These things are incredibly personal, so who is a government to decide for me? I feel like the US government has lost sight of the individual concerns and only focusus on gathering massive amounts of private data just to maybe save a couple of people sometime. On the other hand, the more practical approach, is that I'm just not interesting to any of the intelligence agencies. I am very cautious about what I say online. It's a shame that it's necessary to walk on eggshells, but at least I can manage that.
