One nice point raised in that article is the feeling of encroachment on personal space.
Going somewhat OT, sorry no concrete examples for you...
Like other's have said the thought that you are being watched is like being in a panopticon, or having God looking over your shoulder. Which might of course curb some people from doing wrong, but could stifle exploration and expression of our multiple personas on the web.
Some laws are easy to get on board with, others are not. You could kill your career with something like the exposure of drug taking.
There's the possibility of smear campaigns (if the data falls into the wrong hands). Did anyone hear about the news of the world police bribing scandal in the UK?
You might loose your job, if you are found to have certain political or organisational leanings.
You could find yourself the target of ethnic cleansing.
Those that have nothing to hide, probably feel right now that they are on the right side of the law. Perhaps you could identify 'criminals' by asking for a show of hands for those that 'have nothing to hide', and lock up the rest.
We all have a few skeletons in our closet, it might be nice to get these out there and seek repentence, but sadly some people are just not so tolerant, forgiving, or able to not pass judgment. And sometimes it's best to just bury these things.
