This "I don't have anything hide so, why should I care if they read my emails, check my messages, location, pictures and videos" type of thinking is what's wrong with the people. Why are you okay to let anyone have such power and control over you? You went out and bought a phone which didn't have restrictions and they decided, without asking you, to put restrictions on it. How are you okay with this is beyond me.
