The assumption that having something to hide means your doing something wrong isn't accurate anymore. Sure, a lot of shadowy stuff goes on behind VPNs or TOR. On the other hand, people may want to hide searches regarding sexual orientation or fetishes, though all within the bounds of the law. Or, someone may want to hide research for a large purchase from Amazon and Google. There are also lifesaving resources like Erowid that most people probably don't want immediately connected to them. Having something to hide doesn't automatically mean ypunare doing something wrong.
