One definition of freedom is "the ability to access ", and when you consider privacy as the "right to hide ", not everyone can have both.

In order to protect our greater freedoms, we give up privacy. It's a compromise.

I don't think they contrast each other. I think we have traditionally had the freedom in this country to maintain certain privacies, so long as we were not hurting ourselves or others. Unfortunately, the Patriot Act has taken away some of our civil liberties involving the protection of personal privacy.

They don't contrast: societies give up both privacy and freedom in order to have predictability and "security".

If there were true freedom to do anything, there could be no privacy.
