privacy is of the utmost importance to prevent the degradation of what makes us human; free will.

If Fred goes to a certain three websites fairly regularly, and Joe (a bad guy, thug, gangster, terrorist) also goes to those three websites fairly regularly, some other authority monitoring Fred's traffic could say,"Hey, this Fred guy is following the same patterns as this other bad guy Joe, so we should probably intercept this guy and tell him we're worried he will fall into the same trap as bad guy Joe."

So Fred should hide because some powerful entity could draw invalid conclusions about him?

Who let this powerful entity exist in the first place?
