> as for email [passwords], that's again a matter of security
I guess if we're nitpicking I'll point out that this is still privacy (how one keeps their password) for the sake of security. Information is kept private and passwords are information.
Perhaps drawing a distinction between outbound and inbound email protocols would be good too. I understand the argument being made, but the sensible assumption is that your email, even with a password, isn't a sensible choice for sensitive communications.

This seems like it's shifting the goalposts. Someone says something about "nothing to hide but they have locks on their doors" and you say "security isn't the same as privacy". It's accurate but it's moot. I keep the location of my hide-a-key private so I can continue to keep my house secure with the lock on the front door. I keep my email password private so I can secure the account against unauthorized access.
Some people do use their email for what they would consider sensitive communications, and it's less than helpful to suggest they need better opsec practices in response to someone else saying that they should be able to expect their email to be private. It's saying "just hide it better, lol" when that's literally exactly what many people are trying to do when speaking against this sort of legislation.
