There is also a chance that something be morally right but not legal. And legal but not moral. And even legal and moral but subject to repercusion.
For example what if you want to start a union in your workplace. You want other employees to know but you don't want management to know until you got the vote. Or what if a person is escaping Persecution from an unjust government. Like the jews on WW2 or the slaves of the past? Would you follow the law or your concience?
Privacy is often the only tool against tyrants. And that is why they don't want you to have it.
