Because prior to now governments had demonstrated some restraint over what information they sought and how they went about using it.
I don't engage in criminal conduct so I had little concern if people in positions of authority knew where I was. But now that it seems inevitable that merely existing will soon be tantamount to criminal activity, I'm less inclined to let anyone know my whereabouts.
Oh sure, they could easily figure it out anyway - I don't use an IP mask at the office. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna make it easy for them. Google's kind enough to give them my name, address, ph# and birthday.
I'm going to at least make someone work for it.
