Solove brings two kinds of privacy violation to our attention because he believes that doing so will change our point of view that we have “nothing to hide.”

Solove compares privacy violations to Franz Kafka’s The Trial, in which information is withheld from a man who is arrested but not told why (par. 7). He adds that the problems are not from surveillance, but “are problems of information processing — the storage, use, or analysis of data — rather than of information collection” (par. 8). Why does Solove think this is a much bigger problem?

In his final paragraph (par. 16), Solove speculates about the consequences to invasions of privacy that may not have occurred to readers. What is he assuming readers will value, now that he has opened their eyes? Do his examples reflect consequences that could make people change their behavior?
