You are correct in that there is no privacy in the internet. The problem is what the government is doing with the information. EFF is trying to get the goverment to state a policy that they use when looking at people's information. They want to find the point when the government stops being beneficial and becomes malignant. It is beneficial if the information is used to prevent or prosecute a crime but it is malignant if the information is used to persecute and harass people for doing things that are legal but the government doesn't like.
It is one of the rights for the people to assemble peacefully. Social sites may be a new form of assembly.
