Comment 56 for bug 48734

If I invite you into my house(physical), then I don't expect you to go through my filing cabinets or closets, when I'm not looking, without explicitly giving you those "permissions(0755)".

"Good fences make good neighbours" and "Locks keep out only the honest" are equally true.

Placing convenience-over-privacy, by default, in this post-GDPR / Facebook & Twitter leaks / Equifax breach / Edward Snowden & Julian Assange(perhaps heroes to those of us in the USA), etc. seems to be unconscionable.
