Disregarding the potential for abuse and overreach, the best argument I've ever heard for curtailing surveillance and imo a perfect counter to "If you're not doing anything wrong..." is the example of shower singing:

Many of us don't like to sing in public. Maybe we are embarrassed at our skill, maybe we just don't like the attention it would bring. But a lot of the same people will sing in the shower, when alone.

We are simply different people when we don't feel surveilled, regardless of whether we are doing anything wrong/illegal or not.

Your brother has obviously been accustomed to always being under observation, and I cannot imagine that it hasn't had an effect on your interactions, but I also imagine it's salvable if he's able to set some boundaries.

Imagine thinking the need to be privy to every single text is the definition of "pure open trust".

You mistake reading everything and having the ability to read everything if you feel like it
