It would be good if people realized how snooping is connected to poverty. In my scenario, snooping is used to gain business secrets. These are used to undercut businesses, resulting in lower wages and poverty.

E.g. Chinese hackers steal plans for American-designed products. Instead of Americans working, building and selling the things we consume, inexpensive imported versions are available b/c those companies didn't pay for the overhead of design and didn't take any risk. We need to protect ourselves from this.
