Thanks - that's helpful feedback for me to see how this can be read. I think that even if someone doesn't have anything to hide, there are still issues that are relevant to them. So that section is just to address the issue from that perspective.

I don't understand? That was his point, I thought.

Hmmmm, maybe. I assumed the "right to privacy" part was the actual point. Or the next paragraph saying that you might not want to hide stuff now but maybe in the future. Such a spray and pray approach.

The purpose of the article is pointed at in the title.
