You're relying on the "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to
fear" argument, which misses the point entirely.

The point is, when knowledge is power, privacy is freedom.

  Hi John --

  How do you know that these guys are legitimate?  I mean, if I was one of
"those" agencies, I would put up lots of these sites, and then point my
surveillance at the people who use them.

  Same goes for the proxy sites themselves, of course.  Somebody is paying
to run them.  I always wonder what they are getting for their money...
I guess you don't but they have been around providing proxy services for a
long time and tens-of-thousand use them and if there was a problem it would
have been widely publicized. Anyway the stuff I download is not exactly
risque.
