Information is not power, information is a power multiplier. It enables actions (including attacks and defences) to be specifically focused and targeted.

In the case of Kim Jung-nam, two women (by all accounts innocent accomplices) managed to kill a significant political target in what they thought wasn an entertainment prank by splashing him with liquid, on the ground, at an airport.

Critical to the success of that attack was not access to supersonic military jet fighter aircraft, but simply knowing where and when the target would be in a specified location.

Information that's now broadcast to accuracy of centimetres and seconds on many hundreds of millions if not billions of people worldwide right now.

To give another example I've noted previously, what rights to privacy should a rhinocerous have?
