So I read the article from Wired that explains why "I have nothing to hide" is the wrong way to think about surveillance, hoping to get some answers:

But the points raised still don't seem to concern me. Even if I had something to hide and American police can be abusive, I live outside the US and are bound/protected by different laws, and a different police. The only potential problem I see is that the suspect US-born companies store my online footprints in their servers and I can't download them for myself. However, I'm not even sure that's a problem because what can they do to me with it?

Any thoughts? I was expecting this question to pop up much earlier in HN but it seems no one else was asking this themselves.

UPDATE: I'm from a developing country in southeast Asia that used to be a US colony, but I very, very highly doubt that we even have access to all that NSA/PRISM data, let alone that we have an espionage program. Murderers can just get away with their crimes here even if they left hair or fingerprints, because they don't even have those data to match against.
