Why?

You don't, but someone might.

Nobody but you needs to know. Even if you elect to have no privacy, that doens't mean everyone else should follow your bold, nude lifestyle.

You might not value your privacy, but others definately do (even yours). Feel lucky you have the choice.

So here is a scenario.

Lets say you live in China and your not too happy with the govt and you saw something that the govt "allgedly" covered up.

You know your ISP monitors all of your traffic and it does so at the govt's direction so you can't post this info you know onto some public web site without getting caught by your ISP. But you do manage to get a copy of torpark from another freind who is also anti govt. You put torpark on some thumbdrive and go plug it into your computer.

You use Torpark and post your information up on to "websiteX" and the word gets out. You go hide thumbdrive far and away from PC. (no tracks)

A few weeks later the Govt "spooks" discover the info on some web site and the come to your area and confiscate everybodys computer within 2 miles of the incident. But your computer is clean... You hid the USB drive some time ago... and your ISP has no traceable records of you visiting "siteX". They will have traffic from you to the first TOR router but since that changes from router to router they don't have much. Not enough to link you to the posting on "siteX" So your off the hook.

Of course this is just an example. And its not a perfect one. But it gets the point across.

Hi Motoracer. Could you please send me a complete list of every site you've visited in the last week? If you don't mind, also list the stores you went to, the books you've read, the TV shows you've watched, and the newspaper you buy. (We'd like to know if it's a left-leaning or right-leaning one). Also, if you listen to the radio, please list the shows, specifically political talk shows.

I'm not going to tell you why I want this information, but since you've got nothing to hide, you shouldn't care. I'll also say it's none of your business why I want it; but that shouldn't matter - you don't mind, right?

(I'm kidding of course, but your statement is equally as ridiculous, and this is the "line" given by everyone who thinks that the only people who want privacy are "bad guys". )
